Under water in Crete. (2017) Malerei von Mathew Halpin

The style of Mathew's paintings is hard to pin down. He is influenced by the cultures of where he lives. When he was living in Tallinn, Estonia he became a little obsessed with painting the main local Russian souvenir, the Matryoshka. The Matryoshkas Mathew painted were nothing like the ones you buy in a souvenir shop. The artist likes to look at quirky parts of cultures and explores them via painting. Since living in Greece his paintings are often comical observations of Greece and it's people. Mathew's paintings often tell stories. The stories normally are about serious issues done with a humorous twist. Currently his work has become more figurative with a focus on modern dancers based in Crete. He is also reworking an older series of 'Pin ups' but using male models instead of the standard young ladies. Most of his earlier paintings were done with acrylic paint but since moving to Greece he paints in oils only. The artist is happy to discuss and quote for commissions.

Mathew checks his emails regularly. Painting orders are normally shipped the day after the request is made. Smaller paintings come with their inside frame so you can hang them straight away. Large paintings come rolled up. All the buyer needs to do is take the rolled up painting to a framer or art materials shop and get it put onto a frame
