Matt Small - Studio Visit
Nelly Duff documented the masterful Matt Small at work in his London studio, preparing new pieces for the upcoming #RadiantOnes show, opening Wednesday July 3rd. Take a look at a preview of show artworks available here.


Small aims to acknowledge the unacknowledged, reinventing his subjects just as he reinvents the institution of oil painted portraiture. The artist makes an emotive investment in each image via a supremely expressive handling of this age-old medium, breaking down traditionally set hierarchies of 'Fine Art' and instantly heightening the status of those he choses to depict, allowing each to shine radiant!

BP Portrait Prize nominee Matthew Small..


.. uses found objects sourced from the urban environment as the canvas on which to base original portraits of overlooked and underprivileged youngsters. In this way the artist re-invigorates discarded items, and people- once set aside by mainstream society, now reborn in his highly emotionally charged artworks. 

Keep your eyes peeled for more information on Nelly Duff & the masterful Matthew Small.. coming very soon

Matt Small LIVE @ Planet Patrol





Wow...what a pleasure it was to see Matt Small paint live at the Planet Patrol night at Cargo on Thursday.  The technique he has been pursuing for "the last 7 years" of using oil and water paints clashing is incredible to see...  Some of these pics illustrate the processes he goes through (images courtesy of James Headphonesex).  You would need to take hundreds of image's to see every stage he goes through.  Its great to see someone loving their work so much as well.  Its like when you go and see a band live and your impressed with their performance so much you'll go and buy their album, this was exactly the same here...  Thanks to Mole at Planet Patrol for putting on a great evening ;  )
