Matt Gonzales

Matt is an emerging abstract artist specializing in small-format fluid acrylics that explore the tension between control and chaos. A self-taught creator who began his professional practice in adulthood, Matt brings a unique, uninhibited perspective to the canvas, treating each work as a laboratory for unique color combinations and techniques.

Operating primarily on 11" x 14" and smaller scales, Matt seeks to create highly approachable art that is both enjoyable and introspective. His work is characterized by high-contrast movements, intricate multi-layered cell structures, and use of light-reflective mica and metallics. By utilizing reclaimed materials, including reclaimed canvas, wood signs, and building materials, Matt celebrates the restorative nature of creation as part of his personal journey.
