Matthew is a graphic artist living and working in London. Since graduating from the Royal College of Art in 2001 he has developed a strong visual identity that incorporates a broad spectrum of influences and disciplines, all of which are consolidated by his passion for drawing.
Working predominantly with pencil, pen and markers he constructs striking imagery from an unexpected collage of doodles, sketches and studies. His practice explores the landscape and architecture of the everyday against a backdrop of mass media communication and advertising, imagery that has come to shape our understanding of how we exist in the world.
This content is presented to audiences in a vibrant and confrontational graphic language. His work has been featured in numerous publications including Creative Review, It’s Nice That, Grafik Magazine, Varoom Magazine, Dazed & Confused and This is a Magazine.
