A message from our Presenter:
“We remember Matisse for his use of colour, pattern and simplicity.  He travelled extensively to exotic destinations in search of colourful fabric and inspirational ideas, some of which we shall explore.

We remember Frida Kahlo for many similar qualities and methodologies.  She also travelled extensively to exotic locations and revelled in depicting colourful fabrics and inspirational ideas exactly as Matisse did.

In this workshop we will be working with their similarities more than their differences and creating a clashing, yet unique blend of creativity. 

I am looking forward enormously to presenting this Workshop.  After years of extensive study of art history and knowledge of various artists’ works, it has just occurred to me that whilst living on opposite sides of the globe both artists – Henri Matisse (France) & Frida Kahlo (Mexico) – shared so many subjects, styles and simplicity in their work.  Suddenly I felt a brand new Workshop coming on and this is it.” – Krystyna Ciesiolkiewicz

ABOUT MATISSE

Henri Matisse (1869 – 1954) was a French artist, known for his use of colour. He was leader of the Fauvist movement, but by the 1920s he was increasingly recognised as an upholder of traditional French painting. Matisse used colour as the foundation for expressive and decorative paintings.

Matisse loved pattern, not only the decorative forms shown in his own compositions, but also the reproduction of tapestries, embroideries, silks, awnings within the painting.  He also especially enjoyed and excelled in painting women draped in exotic materials.  See samples of Matisse Artworks on this page.

ABOUT FRIDA

Frida Kahlo de Rivera (1907 – 1954) was an iconic Mexican artist who painted many portraits, self-portraits, and works inspired by the nature and artifacts of Mexico. Inspired by the country’s popular culture, she employed a naïve folk art style to explore questions of identity, post colonialism, gender, class, and race in Mexican society.
