Insert Shape (After Matisse) #4 (2021)

A fourth collection of abstract compositions with their provenance in the cookie-cutter toolsets of Powerpoint, inspired by Matisse’s use of scissors and paper and produced as part of my response to The Kick-About No.38. Again, I found myself rather enamoured by the vintage-vibes coming off some of these examples, that sense of something ‘modern’ being dreamed up by a mid-20th Century imagination. I look at these and wish I had the reserves to explore them as large-scale prints on expensive papers, or as textiles, or as floor-plans for rather wondrous ‘futuristic’ architecture.
