Sophie Matisse Art

American, b. 1965

Sophie Matisse is an international contemporary artist. She initially gained notoriety for her series, Be back in 5 Minutes, in which she recreated famous old master paintings while erasing the figures. Media coverage is often quick to note Sophie’s family background; an art pedigree originating with her great grandfather, Henri Matisse. Britain’s Sunday Telegraph once referred to Sophie as “Art Royalty“, a term occasionally paraphrased when discussing this artist and her work. The Absentee paintings gave Sophie her first wide spread exposure as an artist in her own right, and would inform her work for years thereafter. In 2003, she added Pablo Picasso’s Guernica to the number of paintings she reinterpreted. In 2004, Sophie began a new series entitled, the “Zebra Stripe Paintings“. Once again borrowing historically significant images from art history, only this time, weaving them with her own abstract imagery through a zebra stripe shaped pattern. The borrowed images, though, are more obscured as they are forced to share the canvas space with her colorful contemporary abstractions, rendering the familiar images less identifiable. Even the artist herself, has often joked that her Dyslexia may have actually helped her in creating these works. The series has been compared to James Rosenquist’s later works, juxtaposing and overlapping seemingly unrelated imagery. Sophie continued to explore and develop her unique perspective with her next series, Ribbons in 2008. In this series, she divides the surface into brightly colored interlocking shapes and introduces enlarged details from her smaller gouache paintings done years earlier. Only a sparse floating ribbon makes reference to the recognizable paintings of the past. In Sophie’s 2012 series, It’s Time, the awareness of the passage of time takes precedence as she lets go entirely of any references to art history. Exploring new imagery, such as Arabic calligraphy, even at times reorienting the words. These collage like paintings are filled with calligraphy displaying photographic images of luxury brand watch faces, suggesting the continual passage of change. By incorporating language, Matisse expands the realm of seeing to include reading. Either for the meaning of the words or simply for the visual impact of the letterforms. This flickering between seeing and reading reverberates throughout this series only to continue more so in her following work. Currently, Sophie is working on a new series of small intimate gouache works on paper in which she continues to explore the nature of life’s continuously evolving perceptions. Using her her own imagery coupled often with iconic commercial and luxury brand logos, words and numbers, one’s attention is consistently refocused and reconfigured through the interaction of these varying vocabularies that the artist has layer out for us too, to explore.
