Summary:

In sculptures and objects, Swiss artist Sylvie Fleury responds to a large body of drawings and cut-outs from Matisses 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 Françoise Bolli under Fleurys guidance. Drawing on Matisse is at once an acknowledgement of the significant influence Matisse has held over Fleurys evolution as an artist, and an appeal to abandon the canonical reading of his work. Her response to Matisse therefore intentionally exaggerates the stereotypic feminine aesthetics associated with his work. Text: Sylvie Fleury, Adrian Rifkin, Yuval Etgar.
