Matthew Shelley 'Andy's Landscape 3'
Drawer 5- "Andy’s Landscape 3", acrylic paint / monotype / collage on paper, 14 x 11", 2019
Artist Statement
The majority of my work focuses on scale, proportion, and spatial issues. My recent paintings merge gestural marks with geometric patterns into something that resembles a landscape. The meaning is intentionally open-ended, but the paintings encourage viewers to reconsider the divisions between natural and human environments.
