Marc Bis
These works are paintings with silhouettes meant to reveal the cultural and historical backgrounds of the subjects. Suddenly rising from the masses, a Napoleonic soldier meets a kid and his father, both looking at a man who seems to be shot in the back, while a couple quietly enjoys a coffee on a terrace . A man from the XVth is falling down a hole between a streetsweeper and two policemen.
Such anachronisms and contradictions show us how our modern world was made. It is constructed of permanent confrontations between north and south, past and present times, and richmen and poor ones. The anonymous context in which these scenes take place describes the common lack of concern, yet his work brings on a smile and not a cry for help.

(This pivotal study had it’s own rich heritage passed from master to pupil since its inception in 18th Century France. Ingbretson was a student of Ives Gammell; Gammell was a student of William MacGregor Paxton, who flourished under Leon Gerome, a pupil of Ingres; Ingres was, in turn, a favorite student of the great Jacques Louis David.)

Matsuda was born in Hokkaido, and grew up in Kiryu, in the prefect of Gunma, Japan. She began to study drawing and painting seriously while at Hokkaido University.

After graduating, she joined Kao Corporation as a marketing research specialist in Tokyo, and continued to study art at several classes and institutes.

At Hunter, she studied with many faculty artists including Juan Sanchez, Robert Morris, Robert Swain, Joel Carreiro, Anthony Panzera, and Emily Mason.
