About The Artwork
Introduced Species usually refers to flora and fauna that inadvertently ends up in a hitherto pristine environment. However, rarely does this happen without human interference. With the seemingly insatiable quest for growth, the detritus of the human condition has become scattered across the landscape: everything from foreign plants and animals to such alien species as plastics and manufactured waste. A parable of Psalm 107:4 “Some wandered in desert wastelands, finding no way to a city where they could settle” reworked to fit this Age of Consumerism, where acquisitiveness and ownership is thought to bring happiness, concepts such as sustainability and restraint are anathema to corporate motivations and market expectations. Every year businesses are required to post ever-increasing profits, irrespective of market or environmental conditions. The frontier mentality that drove world exploration and the great migrations still exists, only now the proponents are corporations, each seeking the next mother lode. And as this search relentlessly continues, few question the wisdom of this task and ask of themselves, have we, the human tribe, become lost?

Australia
Matthew was featured in BRW as one of Australia's top 50 artists. In the past few years he's won, or been a finalist for, more than 70 major national art awards. He's had 14 solo and 80 group shows. He's painted all his life but allowed himself to be distracted by other careers, working variously as a lecturer, art-director, photographer & writer. His first novel was short-listed for the Vogel Literary Award. He's lived in Australia, the UK, Portugal & Malaysia, and once camped for several months beneath a grand piano. He spent nights under stars in India, under-ground in Bolivia, under surveillance in Burma and under-nourished in London. His scariest moment was having machine-gun shoved in his face during Nepalese anti-monarchy riots, although crashing a para-glider into a forest was also something of a highlight.
