"Matisse" Exhibit Opening Party with Eve J. Alfille
"Matisse:" A New Jewelry Collection to be Unveiled by Evanston Artist Eve J. Alfillé on November 14
Throughout his career, artist Henri Matisse experimented in paper cut-out collages of many fantastical shapes and colors. They spoke volumes in their simplicity, and could sometimes result in entire rooms transformed by assemblages of color and movement. Today, Eve Alfillé takes up the torch with the creation of her latest series, ‘Matisse:’ a homage to his works through the lens of art jewelry.
To pay tribute to this vision, Eve plans to draw from a variety of precious materials. These will include large, lush pearls in voluptuous shapes, as well as large and intensely colored stones such as amethysts, citrines, sapphires and more. More than anything, this brand-new series will be paying homage to the playfulness in Matisse. In the spirit of that playfulness, the Eve Alfillé Gallery & Studio will be throwing a party to celebrate the opening of this new series on November 14, which will include festive Champagne, drinks and treats, and a live musical performance. Come and play!
The new series will be released and celebrated on November 14, 2015 from 1:00 p.m - 7:00 p.m. at the Eve J. Alfillé Gallery and Studio. To join the celebration, call to reserve your space at 847-869-7920 or send an email to contact@evejewelry.com. To learn more about Eve Alfillé and her inspiration, go to www.evejewelry.com.
