Art By Matthew Carey
Matthew Carey, born in London 1962, is a painter and sculptor based in Spain
and the UK but has also lived in Italy and a goat farm in Öland, Sweden.
He works mainly in oil and acrylic media, often using a technique which he developed which he calls "reverse painting" where the applied paint is taken away with paper to create light and shade. He also specialises in making carved plaster 3D murals, bespoke designs and unique, striking walls of art.
He has always loved working with plaster, from earlier figures with polished panels of "armour" to more recent carved friezes, cut directly into the wall. His latest paintings are partly a direct result of research into and design of the murals, being inspired by Art Deco, Fauvist Painting and Naive Art, Franz Marc, Jean Durand and Rousseau in particular.
He studied fine art, sculpture and printing at Kingsway Princeton College and then at Central School of Art (St Martins) in London. He also worked as assistant to sculptor Kenneth Armitage. His paintings are in private collections in Miami, Marbella and the UK and he has exhibited with Art Wanson Gallery, Sammer Gallery, Wadström-Tönnleim Gallery, Saatchi Online and others.
