Matthew’s work has captured the hearts of art lovers who appreciate the mellow nostalgia of Milk bar visits, swinging on a clothesline and general backyard bliss.
British born, he has lived in Australia since 2001, slowly absorbing the atmosphere of ‘Vintage Suburbia’ that is now sadly becoming an all too rare sight.
The temporal aspects of everyday life, our surroundings and what we surround ourselves with reman a constant source of inspiration for him. In the work we see a reflection of simpler times. The soft coloured weatherboard homes replete with a Hills clothesline, koala postbox and occasional native bird, act as signifiers and set the scene in these carefully detailed paintings that embody the warmth of bygone days in the sun.
With a painting career that spans over forty years, Matthew has exhibited in solo and group exhibitions in Australia and the United Kingdom. His work is held by Artbank, Australia and in private collections across Australia, New Zealand, the UK and the USA.
