Shadows (2007) Painting by Hardman Matt

I am an instinctual artist that academically struggled but found joy and interest in the creative world and art became the puzzle I would sometimes shine at. Predominantly a contemporary gothic painter, living in Hastings gave me my basic subject matter, neglected building scapes. I tried to combine structural style that draws from impressionism yet has graphic output and punch.

Though this is a large part of what I do, I still take great enjoyment drawing warped and hideous pictures of my girlfriend family and friends, designing T-Shirts, music fliers and creating non-existent fantasy bands such as Man Touch and She X.
