Artist Room Studies in Miniature
You'll see all 15 Artist Room Studies in the Art Fashion Creation feature post. The Dufy room study is an average size: 5.5-inches high by 7-inches wide, but the studies vary in size - with the largest, Hammershoi, at about 12-inches wide. The boxes had diverse previous lives as storage for jewelry, tobacco, and spice. All have doors and some have several doors and even windows. These details though are reserved for viewers who stand before them to have a look and discover.

2D to 3D: Artist Room Studies, Jennifer Hawkins Hock
To emphasize a captured moment in the daily life and environment of these artists is my goal; to spotlight their appreciation for the art found in something as simple as a good meal, a window view, flowers in a vase, the silhouette of a chair, placement of a book, or the casting of light and shadow. When you compare my room studies to their respective paintings, you'll notice here and there little discrepancies. It is of course part of the pleasure of observing these representations - spotting the differences.
You might consider too the passing of time as you view my room studies - how even in your own environment, there occurs an evolution - a transition or a shifting of the elements therein. Some rooms seem to beckon guests... tables well-dressed with food and service, fresh flowers in a vase. In three of the rooms which originally contained people, I chose to reflect this passage of time - adding another element to the story the original paintings tell. You will notice instead of an orange - its peeling; a man reading the paper is now prepared for a stroll; or instead of a man peering through a doorway - a woman peeling potatoes is there instead.
I am delighted by Henri Matisse's rooms which are like diaries and I feel especially drawn to Edouard Vuillard's worktable - with its sewing project ready to be finished - a room full of fabric and potential. Gwen John's room, with its oddly slanted wall-feature, is a favorite - because I think it has all one really needs for a brief, restorative bit of enjoyment: a nice comfortable chair, flowers, a window - for fresh air and a view, and a practical small table - big enough for writing or holding a cup of tea, with a drawer to store something special - a book, or a letter.
All the objects on walls, tables, shelves - all the elements of the original paintings are there because the artist deemed them visually significant. However, you might also consider how an artist may alter the actual room for its portrait.
In recreating these paintings and setting the decor just so, I noticed interesting similarities in the rooms. So many of them feature open windows or doors - allowing the viewer to see beyond the immediate interior - framing a city scene, the blue sky and grass of nature, or sometimes a balcony.
I tried to avoid too many conceits or liberties, but there are a few. In Childe Hassam's room, the red table has such a perfect amount of reflection on top - a nice shine - I didn't want to change it. Too, I cannot verify what is under the table of Misia and Vallotton. My eyes see what I think is a cat - maybe even a cat with kittens... perhaps a cat is what I want to see. It is my hope you will now take a closer look and decide for yourself.

2D to 3D: Artist Room Studies, Exhibition Notes
Summer 2014 - Intrigued by living spaces I began to study painted rooms of famous artists and considered how an artist's studio and domestic interior might influence a body of work. Too, the concept of change within those spaces fascinated me. To momentarily shift focus away from the artist's renowned creations and emphasize instead a captured moment in the daily life and environment is my goal. I created the room studies as a way to feel the lives of these artists and closer examine the ways they surrounded themselves.
Deeply involved in various art forms that summer of 2014, my own studio began to exhibit a cluttered look as more hours were dedicated to sketching, painting, and sewing. I thought of other artists' studios and houses - particularly curious about the surroundings of women artists in the late 19th and 20th centuries. Searching for these artists' rooms, some of them seem more approachable, more real than others. Some of the furnishings look practical and commonplace; these are the rooms to which I relate and which I imagine visiting. Some paintings exude a more friendly, welcoming aspect and these are the rooms to which I feel invited.
In my Artist Room Studies, I am recreating the essence of the room - a similar arrangement, similar lighting, colors, and similar furnishings. I hope the viewer receives an impression of familiarity - either before or after viewing the original artwork, whereby my three-dimensional room assemblage is enough like the artist's two-dimensional painting to be recognizable.
