About The Artwork

Driving past some beautifully American farmland along the highway, as the rows and rows of perfectly tended crops swept past the passenger side window, the landscape itself began to remind me of the red and white stripes of the American flag. The deep blue of the sky would complete the Stars and Stripes motif wonderfully. This truly is a beautiful country. And then, continuing down that highway through the heartland, my mind wandered into confusion about how we Americans have all drifted so far apart from one another. This piece isn’t about answering that question; this piece is about documenting that brief moment in time spent pondering the scenery. Somehow, we all need to find a way to work shit out. Together. Ink pen, color pencil, and graphite on paper. 2004. 10 x 9

Matt Woods is a contemporary painter. His figurative and narrative works attempt to harness his own stream of consciousness towards images that reveal simple, universal stories of adversity and perseverance. In his abstract works, he sees himself as an archeologist of paint and process, repeatedly adding and subtracting layers to a variety of surfaces, hunting for visual splendor and order in the frantic discord. His work balances soft, careful mark making, often combined with violent, destructive processes, to achieve a result which mirrors his view that life is a marriage of exaltation and pain. The canvas materials Matt chooses are often reclaimed pieces of wood from structures that come with their own embedded histories, like an old, well-used easel found at a yard sale, or an abandoned skateboard ramp found in the middle of the desert. These ghosts that accompany the materials call out to have their stories influence the marks made by the artist, adding further buried layers of interest and complexity to the work.
