Genuine Fakes | Picasso | 2024
Years in the making, Myatt has utterly immersed himself in the life and mind of Picasso to interpret some of the most seminal works from the artist who redefined art as we know it.
Capturing his revolutionary spirit and masterful methods, Myatt has portrayed works from the distinct chapters of Picasso’s career, including his Blue, Rose, Cubist and Surrealist periods. Each period is marked by significant stylistic and thematic shifts, creating a narrative that reflects the evolution of twentieth-century art.
Myatt has devotedly sought to represent the works with the spirit Picasso would have originally intended, to honour the profound connection between Picasso’s life and work.
The collection features pieces inspired by Picasso’s lovers and his affection for his children, whilst others handle powerful themes including war, purity and female beauty. Each artwork has been framed in a style that is sympathetic to that of the original to recreate its initial character.
Myatt has been inspired by Picasso’s fearless experimentation, his ability to adapt, innovate, and defy artistic norms, for as long as he can remember.
