MATT BRAY – BEING AND NOTHINGNESS
2012-12-24Matt Bray’s abstracted figures draw upon personal feelings of alienation, using expressionist techniques to engage with the human body. Bray’s paintings occupy and explore the tensions between subject and object, figuration and abstraction and allows the paint to exist on its own terms.
Being and Nothingness brings together key works to date, from dark forlorn heroes and expressive portraits to a more fragmented figure. Colourful sci-fi inspired canvases see the figure transformed – trashy horror movie monster, neon zombie or dismembered android body parts, now form the subject for Bray’s immediate and impactful approach to painting.
