Oly Artist Interview: Matthew
Submitted by enpen on Fri, 04/25/2008 - 3:19pm.

enpen: Which technique/trick do you find yourself using the most in your art (e.g. horizon line, cross-hatch, etc.)?

Matthew: If I were to tell you the most useful trick in my arsenal, it would no longer by a trick. Therefore destroying the entire experience of visual art for the viewer...

As an artist, what about red is important to your work?

As a viewer, what about red is important to you?



Had you all the time and resources in the world, what story/history would you put into visual form and how would you do it?

The only one I know.

Grasping at straws is like submarines with a couple screen doors.

If 1+1=3 then I really don't know, I was never all that good at arithmetic.

It's the water and I know how to use it.

Matthew’s work is at Metro Body Piercing (214 4th Ave E) during Artswalk weekend (April 25th & 26th).

Wow...

I can't imagine getting less out of someone unless you interviewed Albert Gonzalez (except of course "It's the water and I know how to use it"). But thanks for the effort. The Dali Lama stencil guy has some kind of installation across State Street from the bus station.

You should have asked him about a sort of German car. He probably wouldn't have shut his trap. ;)

Sometimes red is very important.

Sometimes blue is very important.

Yellow is always special.

Green is usually sublime.

Orange is transitional and violet is transcendental.

I hate light blue. I like my blue like I like my chocolate - dark.
