Drawing on Matisse - an exhibition by Sylvie Fleury

In sculptures and objects, Swiss artist Sylvie Fleury responds to a large body of drawings and cut-outs from Matisse's work, some of which were not shown publicly before, revealing a side of him that is surprisingly irreverent, provocative, and rebellious. The exhibition includes mannequin body-part sculptures and wall mounted works by Fleury alongside a large group of drawings by Matisse mounted on glass picture frames individually manufactured by the Swiss artisan glass sculptor Francoise Bolli under Fleury's guidance. "Drawing on Matisse" is at once an acknowledgement of the significant influence Matisse has held over Fleury's evolution as an artist, and an appeal to abandon the canonical reading of his work.
