MATT ARBUCKLE
World Domination encompasses a belief and passion that Matt wants etched into the Art world. First and foremost a single minded desire and love for what he drives him. This stubbornness entwined with a desire for his work to do the talking, is providing a chain of remarkable achievements. Matts highly regarded work investigates imagery derived from a popular culture register which has already seen him win accolades including 1st runner up in the Wallace Art Awards in 2009, launching Ninety Gallery, painting thoughout LA, New York and Munich. The context for Matt’s painting interests is firmly located within a broader contemporary conversation, re-evaluating the implications of image making and excavating ideas surrounding our understandings of ‘representation’. Not confined to spending his years allowing both adult wisdom and society expectations to limit his expression, Matt burns to play on the big fields.
WCG enjoys promoting young artists - following their careers and investing in their talent.
