Aubrey Kurlansky, a textile artist, is bringing his experience of East and West to create unique silk art. Drawing on his experience as an artist and creator, and with a background in graphic design, art and photography, he applies these disciplines when designing patterns for his scarves, which are printed on both sides. In his talk, Aubrey will explain the process of integrating his skills in art and photography with his love of beauty and pattern making, which is applied to different formats and printed on silk, transformed into scarves and other elegant sartorial items.
Growing up in South Africa, educated in the UK, and having traveled across many countries and diverse cultures, Aubrey brings together his notion of grace and refinement to make his impressions visible and accessible. He moved to Singapore in 2013 and then Thailand, where he has worked at Bensley Bangkok, known for its fine hospitality business. Aubrey’s designs and artworks are on display in hotels throughout the world under his brand name AKWA. Each of his silk scarves, dresses, kimono shawls and skirts is of limited-edition, and a rare collectible item.
