Glyn Matthews - Fine Art & Photography

Glyn Matthews - Fine Art & Photography

Glyn Matthews is an artist who uses photography as a printing medium in a totally unique way:

“I work in ink, monochromatically, upon translucent overlays in a series of grounds to achieve a tonal composition. I introduce colour through the interplay of coloured lights upon the surface with the focal point of the sun (or moon) achieved through the use of back lighting. I capture the resulting image photographically to produce an ‘original print’. I invite my audience to share in a captured moment of ethereal calm balanced on the cusp of night and day.

I view the world deliberately in a slightly different light!”

About The Artist

Glyn Matthews was born in Plymouth, Devon in 1952, and trained as a graphic designer. He has worked in a variety of media, being influenced by Britain's pastoral and industrial landscapes. In 1982 he developed the unique method of blending his Graphic skills with a love of photography; "photo-Graphics", available in a series of limited editions.

Magical fine art creations where ink and light are blended in the studio and captured by the camera.

The work is created entirely in the studio, the subject being carefully selected for its potential in silhouette. A line drawing is made and translated into a series of overlays. These are then lit using carefully positioned coloured lights, and photographed. The resulting negative is then used to produce a limited edition print.

Examples of the artist's work can now be found in private collections around the world.

"I invite my audience to share in a captured moment of ethereal calm balanced on the cusp of night and day. I view the world deliberatley in a slightly different light."

Each picture is available as a Limited Edition or signed Artist's Print, subject to availability.
