Insert Shape (After Matisse) #2 (2021)


More images produced as part of my response to The Kick-About No.38, which took the cut-outs of Henri Matisse as its prompt, and more images resulting from an improbably happy marriage between Powerpoint and Photoshop. In contrast to the these previous images, I enlisted one of Powerpoints ‘ready-mades’ – an off-the-peg icon of some seaweed with some passing resemblance to some of Matisse’s own plant forms. Different visual chemistry this time around, with the layerings resulting in mosaical effects, putting me in mind of Gaudi.

    1. Thanks Graeme – there’s a few more to come in this vein, pushing things in a less graphical and more painterly direction. Fascinating how this began to produce such satisfying results.
