About
Using a mix of Abstract styles (Lyrical, Gestural, Expressionism) along with Action Painting and Automatic Techniques, and driven by an exploration of the subconscious, Matthew Paquette crafts abstract compositions that are influenced by personal experiences. Imbuing each piece with a different personal narrative, he layers poured paint and ink, utilizing gravity along with tools like copper pipes, tape, spoons, toothbrushes, and other found objects to shape each unique piece. The way that each piece flows allows for individual exploration; viewers are invited to discover the organic colors, depths, and shapes within, finding their own personal meaning.
