I've named this mosaic "Angry Matisse." I created this wall hanging loosely based off of Matisse's Blue Woman Series. I nipped the mosaic tiles in the shapes that I wanted and molded the pieces to the mortar. 11 by 9 inches
I began with a book cover and stained it black. I found a magazine landscape picture and collaged it on the book cover. Then I hammered in nails to create a 3D aspect.
The Inspiration for this came from a popular motif I saw in Mexico. The form was crafted out of clay and then put paper mache over it. Once the paper mache was dry, I painted using acrylics.
