Matthew Simpson has painted for many years since studying fine art at the Victorian College of the Arts in the 1980s. Matthew’s work for the past few years has concentrated on the possibilities of form and pattern that emerge through a process of repeated addition of lines. Matthew’s painting practice is based mainly on working in oil paint on canvas. The process is a mixture of random and deliberate additions to the canvas. In addition to the major paintings, he also creates random computer based interactives and works on paper.
