Matt Theodhos

b.1978 Boston, Mass, USA
I'm a Cantonese speaking, reading, & writting Bostonian born & raised of Albanian heritage. Since I've been around art starting from my late teens, It was just natural that I took to painting my self.

I occasionally still work in watercolors & acrylics, but my main medium is collage.

My inspiration comes from a fascination w/ linguistics, poetry, both the plastic & sculptural arts, esp. works on paper among other art forms.

Music of all types is a source of intense overall influence for me & titles are a very important part of my creative process.

Aside from my numerous studio compositions, I also enjoy the challenge of doing freelance graphic design work.

I have worked w/ musicians in the New England & Mid-Atlantic states supplying images for the album graphics of their upcomming releases. I'd also like to work w/ authors & poets.

A very short list of some of my favorite artists are:
M.C. Escher, Arthur Wesley Dow, J. Frank Currier, Max Gunther, Lee Bonticou, Jiri Kolar, John Baker, Cuno Amiet, Fedinand Hodler, Birgir Sandzen,

Although I attended both the Boston Museum of Fine Arts School & Mass College of Art in drawing classes for periods of time, I'm self taught in the medium of collage.

I've been exhibitiing in local Boston, Brookline & Cambridge venues since 1999. Past exhibitions include a group show @ the Boston Atheneum in 2003, Club Passim in 2005, & the Cut & Paste Exhibition @ The Ayers Loft Gallery 1n 2007.

My recent album graphic credits have been for the New York band Deadbeat Alien Workshop & the Boston bands Recent History, the Rising Sons, & the Alan Cohen Experiance.
