This is one of a new series of works inspired by Matisse's esteemed Cut-Outs exhibition at the Tate. Here, I have combined my specialism of the human form, transcribed from Matisse's original nude drawings of odalisques. The works are created from graphite, spray paint and collaged elements from an ongoing archive including Modern Painters/Frieze magazine whose text is used to create the line of the body. Madame Matisse is framed within a really smart Italian-made white birch frame that is very contemporary and clean-cut, projecting and complementing this urban work. Rave reviews of the Matisse exhibition have created a renewed interest in collage and celebration of the female form - this has impacted upon the secondary art market where Matisse's females are fetching the highest prices. Matisse's motto 'to think like a child' has led to a return to freedom of creativity, colour saturation and the creation of more abstract and expressionist works. I am currently researching for my PhD in contemporary British painting, investigating what makes a painting achieve high value on the secondary market.
