UKRAINIAN ART TEXTILES IN THE CONTEXT OF INTERIOR DESIGN

Abstract

The purpose of the article is to define and study the segment of artistic textiles as a means of visual identification in interior design. This topic is considered in the context of the historiographical aspects of the emergence of a new vision of the role of artists and the rethinking of folk ethnic art in the first quarter of the twentieth century, which were relevant to almost all areas of functional art. Many modernists turned to self-expression beyond the narrow art and craft vector. They experimented, in particular, with textiles, which were very successful. Eminent artists and architects created magnificent and complex ornamental patterns, transformed and reinterpreted ethnic culture and offered it to their contemporaries with taste. In this context, the emphasis is on using the potential of the author's approach to create stylistic artextiles with signs of Ukrainian identity. Handmade textiles have always played an important role in the historiographical context of Ukrainian interior decoration. Analytical studies of textile crafts in Ukraine demonstrate two main vectors of development: household and functional, and artistic and decorative.In the process of transformation in the modern environment, it has gone through stages of rise, simplification, and sometimes even partial disappearance from everyday use.Today, art textiles in interior design perform not only an aesthetic function, but also become a significant visual identifier of the space. Thanks to the combination of textures, colours, manual and machine techniques, as well as symbolic images, textiles can form an emotional background, reflect the idea and character of the environment. Art textile interacts with the architectonics of space, enhances its semantic load and personalises the interior.
