Ide Reacts to the white installation prepared by Debajo Del Sombrero

One of the workshops hosted by Colectivo Debajo del Sombrero at Matadero Madrid was a chance to transform an object with paint after it was presented to the artists completely white.

As the workshop progresses in Matadero, Madrid, Ide does observational studies of the freshly painted objects of her fellow artists. She used her unique style to create bold, colourful and angular interpretations of objects such as a teddy, shoes and a guitar.

The White objects laid out for the workshop.
