Introduction
Patrick Matthews was born and raised
in north Manchester, England, in 1961. He studied at the Hochschule
Der Kunst, Berlin, and the Henry Moore Centre For Sculptural
Studies, Leeds University, England. Where he gained a Master
of Arts degree in the history of sculpture. He now lives and
works in Amsterdam.
His most recent work is an ongoing
series of sculptures, drawings and paintings which exist as
part of a larger frame as installations and time based works,
on both small and large sized paper and traditional canvasses,
placed within architectural spaces as well as large murals
that turn his personal and spontaneous gestures into monumental
public statements.
His work aims to capture certain motivational forces, which
encapsulate his production with the speed of thought and spontaneity
he seeks to embody: intuition, rhythm and harmony.
Most recently his work has been shown
in Buenos Aires, Argentina; the University of Colorado, USA;
Odzaci, Beograd and Vojvodina in former Yugoslavia; Helsinki,
Finland; Dunkerque University, France; and the state of Sao
Paulo in Brazil.
