100% Silk Square Scarf

Exclusive to House of Voltaire, this limited edition silk scarf by France-Lise McGurn is made-to-order. The 18mm silk twill scarf has a double-sided print and hand-rolled hems and is produced in London by master fabric printing experts. The double-sided printed technique achieves a design-rich finish, showcasing the design on both sides of the scarf square. The atmospheric practice of France-Lise McGurn transports the viewer from the public realm of a museum or gallery into the most personal quarters of the artist’s life: her studio, her bedroom, her mind and musings. McGurn’s figurative practice delivers a wholly immersive experience, launching the viewer into a three-dimensional world of the intimate and relatable. The figures that occupy McGurn’s world belong to her imagination. These archetypal characters, often portrayed in a state of undress, whether in groups, in pairs or alone, recline in both ecstasy and agony. At times, they appear bare and exposed huddled in tense tableaux, seemingly withdrawn in defence. Elsewhere, McGurn’s characters are languid, bathed in an air of euphoria.
