Matisse Alive
In conjunction with the major exhibition Matisse: Life & Spirit, Masterpieces from the Centre Pompidou, Paris (20 November 2021 – 13 March 2022), Matisse Alive offers a unique chance to further explore the life, art and influence of one of the world’s most celebrated artists, Henri Matisse.
Flooding the Art Gallery with colour and energy, this free program of art, music, performance and community celebrates Matisse’s art as an inspiration, point of orientation and focus of dialogue for artists today.
At its heart are four new artist projects, on lower level 2, that present contemporary perspectives on this ‘modern master’ and focus especially on his imagining of the Pacific. Ranging from dynamic textile environments to heroically scaled paintings and an immersive video work, these projects are by leading contemporary artists: Nina Chanel Abney (US), Framily Ties; Sally Smart (Australia), The Artist's House; Angela Tiatia (Sāmoa/Australia), The Pearl; and Robin White (NZ), Vaiola.
