Matthew Dean Artist

Matthew Dean Artist Dynamics are central to all of Matthew Dean’s work. An established Filmmaker and Animator he has in recent years been developing his drawing and painting.

Working from life Dean exlores movement through form, developing techniques that he studied as an animator. Often using professional dancers as models he commits to canvas and more recently to mirror and metal, the dynamics of movement. Leaving the viewer with the impression time has been captured, just long enough, for us to step into his world. Dean’s ability to move between mediums is brilliant

and his latest collection of work on mirrored background serves to reinforce the temporal and dynamic quality of his work; his figures seem to dance in front of our eyes.
