New artist-in residence: Luis Weber

Luis Weber

Luis Weber is a German artist based in Amsterdam. He studied Textile and Fine Art at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy. Drawing inspiration from daily life, he converts collected content—photographs, sketches, fragments—into various materials: a scenario becomes a photograph, which becomes a coded file, and then is crafted into a weaving, an embroidery, or a print. This process examines how information evolves and shifts through medium and repetition.
His work creates a material space between the fast, impulsive, and gestural nature of sketching and scribbling, and the slow, tactile process of textile-making. In weaving, this duality becomes particularly evident, as the intuitive act of drawing meets the mathematical and rational structure of textile design.

Weber is currently undertaking a two-week residency at Lottozero (28 April – 11 May), where he is developing a new series of works on the TC2 jacquard loom and experimenting with digital embroidery techniques in the lab.
