Once in awhile I draw so fast that I get too impulsive tearing the page out of my sketchbook. The rip just becomes part of the piece, being such a bold gesture. What is happening here? Some may hear music, others might hear a snowstorm. There is a code developing here, but the familiar symbols are recklessly abused. Language and iconography inherently generate the expectation for shared comprehension. When that expectation isn’t met, that is when the journey begins.

Matt Woods is a contemporary painter. His figurative and narrative works attempt to harness his own stream of consciousness towards images that reveal simple, universal stories of adversity and perseverance. In his abstract works, he sees himself as an archeologist of paint and process, repeatedly adding and subtracting layers to a variety of surfaces, hunting for visual splendor and order in the frantic discord. His work balances soft, careful mark making, often combined with violent, destructive processes, to achieve a result which mirrors his view that life is a marriage of exaltation and pain. The canvas materials Matt chooses are often reclaimed pieces of wood from structures that come with their own embedded histories, like an old, well-used easel found at a yard sale, or an abandoned skateboard ramp found in the middle of the desert. These ghosts that accompany the materials call out to have their stories influence the marks made by the artist, adding further buried layers of interest and complexity to the work.
