Tufting Artist Turns Rugs Into Bold And Beautiful Wall Art

David Nott is a precision fine artist skilled in the realm of textiles and dotwork. His latest artistic explorations have seen him transform a traditional carpet-making technique into bold and dynamic wall art.  The tufter was inspired by abstract patterns and vibrant colour palettes to create these fluffy, tactile textiles that add a playful, psychedelic touch to homes. Nott uses Adobe illustrtaor to map out his designs before crafting them in fully textured form. Using a tufting gun, he shoots loops of yarn to create these one a kind masterpieces through large mesh canvases, that entice viewers to not only see the art but to also attempt to touch it and feel it.  More info: Instagram | TikTok| DavidNott

He explained that he was initially drawn to dotwork, "The first medium I fell in love with was dotwork, which is virtually black and white pointillism. After exploring it for 10 years or so, I wanted to experience creating in colour. the sculptural and tactile aspects are what really enticed me."
