After Matisse A vibrant sculptural piece of floor/wall art Inspired by Matisse’s paper cut-outs © Sonya Winner Sonya's work is strongly inspired by Matisse's principles, both in color and form. Her rugs use colors as if made up of translucent paper. In ‘After Matisse’ Sonya manipulates the clean colors of hand dyed pure New Zealand wool by carefully juxtaposing complementary shades which then create subtle hue changes where planes of color overlap to create the effect of transparency, luminosity and light. This is layering effect is further enhanced by the varying tuft heights of every design. The free form of ‘After Matisse’ further adds to the dynamism created by Sonya's use of color, over lapping squares burst out of the traditional confines of a rectangular rug to create a real sense of movement and energy. This irregular shaped rug has a sculptural quality with pile height variations and hand carving. The design is created from a playful collage of 26 hand-dyed wools, replicating the effect of color mixing. This piece works beautifully in both modern and traditional interiors adding color, vibrancy and interest. The After Matisse rug is nominated for a Homes and Gardens Award and featured in the international design press including Casa Vogue Brazil, The Sunday Times UK, Homes and Gardens UK, House and Garden Australia, Elle Décor Italia, and S&C Russia.
