Category: Decoration

After Matisse Rug by Sonya Winner

The colorful After Matisse Rug by Sonya Winner is inspired by works made of paper cutouts by the famous painter Henri Matisse.

Matisse’s paper cutouts which the artist described as “painting with scissors” constitute an important milestone in the artist’s career. They are characterized by the use of color and geometry used to create a medium of utter simplicity, but with playful and delightful power. Sonya Winner’s After Matisse Rug is essentially a geometric mixture of multicolor pieces, paying tribute to the work of the world renowned artist. The design is created from a playful collage of overlaying colors. The 26 colors in wool replicate the effect of transparent colors mixing together.

This irregular shaped rug has a sculptural quality with pile height variations and hand carving, which highlights its impressive and artistic color mixture. The end result is a colorful, asymmetrical, modern and boldly geometric design. This impressive rug is a refreshingly bright item that will beautify both modern and classical interiors.
