About the Artist
Created by MORYARTY, Papiers découpés 2 is a modern homage to the expressive freedom of mid-century cut-paper art.

This piece is part of a curated abstract art offering, ideal for those seeking to build a gallery wall that bridges the gap between art history and present-day aesthetics.
The Artwork
Papiers découpés 2 channels the creative spirit of the cut-out movement pioneered by artists like Henri Matisse, who turned to scissors and paper as tools for direct artistic expression. Rather than telling a specific story, this work explores the joy of composition through spontaneous shapes and intuitive arrangement. It reflects a belief in the power of simplicity and the visual impact of assembling forms in new, unexpected ways.
The artwork stands as a celebration of artistic process, inviting viewers to engage with the playful energy and sense of movement that defined the original cut-paper revolution.
Style & Characteristics
The composition features crisp, organic shapes with sharp edges, arranged in a lively interplay of positive and negative space. The color palette combines bold primaries—red, blue, and yellow—with warm neutrals and subtle accents, creating a vibrant yet harmonious effect. The flatness of the colors and the clear separation of forms evoke the essence of cut-paper technique, while the overall mood remains bright and uplifting.
This graphic, curated look pairs well with Matisse-inspired works and complements the structured geometry of Bauhaus posters, making it versatile for various interior styles.
