Artist Recognition

It was the Beautiful Era. Before they stuffed it up with another war. Buoyed by income from industrialisation and empire and not yet restricted by labour laws which would mandate fair wages and conditions, in the period between the Franco-Prussian War and WWI, Europe was awash with cash. And they spent it on shiny things. World Expo’s every few years, the Eiffel Tower, monumental buildings - and lots and lots of art. Sculpted in 1882 by Jules Blanchard for the forecourt of Paris’ L’Hôtel de Ville and directly symbolising science, art and architecture, she exemplified of hope and possibilities of the era. She was the “belle” of her day. And then there is now - with more artists practicing right now than in any period in human history it is quite possibly a new golden age. Including the taggers, for whom all previous generations art and architecture is simply blank canvas upon which they might spread their message.

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.
