MXC Graphite Works at The Artist's Edge - Poulsbo, WA July + onward 2011

"Matthew Curry is our next featured artist and he already has many drawings on display in Poulsbo. Matthew's imaginative work will be on display through August. These wonderful rendered drawings have a little Picasso, a little Dali, and a whole lot of Curry! For those of you who don't know Matthew, he has an electric personality...fully charged and ready to go. I think it is very evident in his drawings as well. Matthew's bio is toward the end of this email."

"The imagery comes from many places all fusing together - like fusion jazz actually!  I've always been interested in a kind of malleable time, underlying laws of nature and geometry, entropy (1st law of physics...) and the intensity of how certain things like music feel, and then, how to convey those feelings.  It all began on sabbatical in Prague in 1998. Fully intending to develop a line of furniture, I became immersed in a strange and wonderful place with 1000 years of extant history and imagery. In such a heady place, I had the luxury to allow my joy of drawing and all my artistic ideas stew-on paper!
 
These “unstill life” drawings suggest suspended moments in an illusory and elusive process of change, a passage of physical and metaphysical generation or degeneration."
