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.
Matisse’s visions of domestic spaces are explored in the neighbouring Living Space, on show until 16 January, through a series of works from the Art Gallery's collection that reveal how contemporary artists including Betty Woodman and Kamrooz Aram have shaped spaces of intimacy and contemplation.
