Matthew Beall
Artist Statement & Bio
Matthew Beall is an American
painter who has lived in
Germany since 2000. His large
paintings reflect an ongoing
exploration of both abstracted
landscape and color. Emotional
and gestural his work suggests
a world that exists between
the bright neon lights of
California and the shadows of
Germany.
Born in 1962 in California,
essentially self-taught as an
artist, Beall worked for many
years creating custom designs
for the steel exterior of
automobiles. He has had
numerous group and solo
exhibitions (see list below)
of his paintings in both
Europe and the United States.
His work is in many important
private collections.
In his recent work partial
faces and enigmatic eyes
emerge from gorgeous and
sensuous fields of color.
Mysterious and moody these
figurative elements function
as portals, or windows, into
what appears to be a mystical
and primal landscape. These
paintings are large and this
scale creates an alternate
world to enter. This is a
world that references numerous
art historical moments as it
suggests a place that is
solitary, unknown and,
ultimately, lonely. The
paintings are not so much
about individual identity as
they are about a rapidly
altering collective identity
that forms...
