Matthew Walton is an rising artist based mostly in Toronto. He holds a B.A.A. (Hons.) in Animation from Sheridan Faculty. His mixed-media follow combines drawing and portray, typically merging the human kind with a definite graphic sensibility. The result’s figurative compositions that strike a definite textural distinction between softness and hardness. Embracing gestures and mannerisms as soon as repressed, his work celebrates genuine self-expression.
Froot Loops options Matthew’s mixed-media-work-on-paper collection highlighting the quiet appeal of on a regular basis queerness. Every bit reimagines a separate mundane second, remodeled by Matthew’s daring, graphic strategy to figuration and his vibrant technicolor lens. These vignettes invite viewers into intimate, relatable scenes that blur the road between private and non-private area. It’s inside this liminal realm that Matthew’s camp and Cubist-coded figures stay—uninhibited; a world all its personal, the place everyone seems to be welcome to step inside.
