What is Art Deco Matrix?

WHAT IS ART DECO MATRIX?

Inspired by Chinese and Japanese art, Art Deco is an eclectic merger of art and craft characterized by intense, rich and bright colors, sharp outlines, rectilinear or zigzag patterns, sun-ray representations, angularity, streamlining, bold and symmetrical geometric shapes with imagery of mass production; and often has simple, yet decorative or stylized abstractions.

The movement was born in 1925 at the great Paris art exhibition (the L'Exposition Internationale des Arts Decoratifs et Industriels Modernes) which was held to showcase the industrial and futuristic beauty of the modern world. A celebration of luxurious glamour and high technology in the machine age, its popularity started to wane after the Second World War in 1945.

Art Deco Matrix is my new invention that seeks to rekindle the glory of Art Deco using everyday images to form interesting and beautiful images in typical square blocks. The patterns are usually formed from a single initial picture modified by techniques of repetition, distortion, rotation, miniaturization or enlargement, grouping and cross-patterning. Its purpose is to make art accessible to all with the message that art is neither privileged, troublesome nor expensive. Art is actually about life, and it has social and political overtones in it.
