ELECTED IN 2019
Matthew Wood produces paintings in the studio and on location be they landscape or interior. His art practice stems from the process of working from primary observation or plein air where he attempts to develop a method and technique that is both expressive and direct, both in and out of the studio.
The use of perspective and light is a dominant theme in all of his work. The depth and movement within each composition enables the painting to come to life. A view must be atmospheric, memorable, distinctive and inspirational whether it be an overlooked corridor or hidden valley – with the process of looking and determining composition sometimes taking place several years before a painting is actually made.
Training in London at Middlesex University and the University of Wales Aberystwyth, Matthew has lived and worked in Belgium and Wales. His work is held in private and public collections.
