Sir Matthew C. Thompson : Colour Engineering & Soul
The Art of Matthew Thompson has an impact on anyone who is artistically cultural,no matter how the genres are varied. This artistic experience has got special characteristics that arise from his awareness,which is a result of a continuous inter-action with the nature of art. We can also state that those who have dealt with Matthew`s experience have discovered his in-depth spiritual insight into things. His artistic style has been proved by his multiple outlook which is plain in form ,musical in colour & metaphysical in thought. It is a new-born experience at the level of forms. Matthew has benifited from the universal cultural heritage in the field of art so as to emphasize the artistic values in the abstract engineering soul. A really new poetic touch to art and how to express it.
Matthew`s presence in the world of art is undoubtedly richness in the world of ``art research & study``. He is among the greatest artists whose souls are full of creativity & innovation and whose works are a flame to our Modern Art.
Critique: The Moroccan National Daily : By Mohamed Ghannaj
The Line ,Colour & Composition in Sir Matthew`s art-work
Matthew Thompson`s painting is the result of a process of the ``painting simplification`` which tends to be reduced to its essential elements : line,colour & composition. Departing from these elements he has built his own universe in which the objects don`t appear as they are in nature, but as very simple signs of his inside universe.There are often lines which act as unifying elements of the object`s diversity which constitute a variety of plots between different forms that permit to express - ``the feeling in the artist`s microcosm``. His paintings constitute an authentic calligraphy . The composition is basically intuitive & it resorts to the tectonic equilibrium between lines & marks of colour.The plastic power of his ``unique & creative`` paintings , resides in the liveliness of colours - typical of the painter`s sensitiveness.
