Allen Jones RA has made this new limited edition in the Royal Academy Schools in response to Matisse in the Studio currently on show in the RA s Sackler Gallery. The final prints are hand signed and numbered by Allen Jones.

Although the visual language and pistachio green palette are both inspired by Matisse s work, the source material for this image can be found in the metal screens or moon gates that Jones has made for various rural sites in the UK including Chatsworth. The linear design around a circular void lends itself perfectly to framing a vista. In this print, Jones characteristically sensual figures surround the void; the small still life in the corner of the design is a direct homage to Matisse.
