The works from the Transfiguration Series are inspired by memories--mental images of landscapes that are recalled, reimagined and transfigured as paintings. These views are constructed not based on the order they appear in visual reality, but rather after filtering through thought and memory. The works attempt to depict visual recall of a scene(s) in fragmented, abridged, and altered perceptions reconstituted in one image.
Memories are often inaccurate and biased according to our beliefs, expectations and hopes, as well as our life experiences. How we process visual input is also affected by these personal characteristics. Ask two people to describe the exact same place they have both just visited and you will receive two differing descriptions regarding the details. What we recall, how we recall, and the hierarchy of importance are highly individualized.

Matthew Anderson is a contemporary award-winning American painter. More than 30 years he has mainly created oil abstraction and watercolor landscapes. Much like watercolor, he works in several layers in oil, sometimes translucent glazes and others thinning down the paint to flow like water. The subject is more important in terms of the connection of the landscape to abstract work. Anderson’s abstractions are references to the relationships of landscape and figure.
Matthew Anderson was born in 1967, in the USA. He lives and works in South Korea.
