MATTHEW JOHNSON
Born: 1963 London UK

Matthew’s artistic apprenticeship has been an eclectic if not a modernist one. A Melbourne-based painter, Matthew’s diverse travel and cultural experiences are distilled through the archetypal filter of oil and pigment. The underlying compositional structures of his paintings are repetitive – grids, geometric patterns, stripes or sequential arrangements drawn from nature. Matthew has has completed numerous residencies throughout Europe and Australia. As well as having his work held in numerous private and corporate collections nationally and internationally, Matthew is continually developing site specific architectural installations throughout Australia.
My work emulates an abstract environment based upon variables in nature and the manmade. For the exhibitions Weather Patterns I and II, I have imbued different observations; one is based on a singular view with shifting change, and the other on the filtration of light in a singular viewpoint - an environment affected by the abiotic. A static viewpoint, of a solid form or element, is constantly veiled and affected by both visible and indivisible forces. There is no one single state of condition. Weather remains the kinetic makeup of atmosphere.
