Matt is an artist specialising in reduction linocuts based in Melbourne/Naarm Australia. His primary focus lies in the realm of still lifes. Drawn to the subtleties of everyday scenes, he is interested in how light and shadow can be used to reframe commonplace objects into moments of reflection and beauty.
Through the technical intricacies of reduction linocuts, Matt blurs the lines between the conventional understanding of linocuts and the broader realm of realistic art. Often dismissed as basic, linocuts are traditionally associated with simplicity. His work challenges these preconceptions, elevating linocut printmaking to the realism achieved in oil paintings and watercolours.
