Organising my sketch books I was reminded of some of the cut outs I was working on recently. These were inspired by my visit to the Matisse Museum in Nice and the Tate Modern, Matisse Cut Outs exhibition. I was struck by the strength of the simplicity of Matisse’s images. Simplicity seems to be carrying through to my current painting and is also the direction Robin is encouraging me to take in tutorials.
My Dwelling Fusion project is evolving into a pared-down style of working. I hope to achieve a certain elegance in simplicity captured so successfully by Matisse.
