ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Here Comes the Sun is an exquisitely detailed large scale botanical sculpture featuring sunflowers and cattails. The sculpture is by far the most detailed sunflower themed piece created by Matthew to date. Inspired by the Beatles' classic by the same name and made during a particularly dark period in the artist's life, it serves as an enduring reminder that the best is yet come. The piece was created using a variety of carbon steel and stainless steel materials including steel rod and pipe, salvaged steel components, flatware, and steel plate. Hundreds of individual shaped components were joined using thousands of individual welds using MIG welding techniques, resulting in a unique, organic texture which conceals the tremendous amount of welding necessary to create this piece. Each individual component is coated in an epoxy primer before being base coated, then top coated in Axalta's (formerly Dupont's) Imron 3.5 Urethane finishing system. Matthew has developed an innovative spray technique of blending multiple colors wet in the spray booth, resulting in beautiful ombre finishes blending through several colors on each bloom. The Imron finishing system has been widely used in the marine and aerospace industries, and Matthew's work is intended for permanent installation outdoors in any climate. Matthew's work has been installed in public and private settings spanning the Eastern US, with privately owned work displayed nationwide as well as in the Middle East and Europe. The base plate of this piece is predrilled to allow for mounting to any suitable substrate.
