About the Item

Matt Flint is a painter from the mountain town of Lander, Wyoming. He grew up surrounded by woods, animals, and family. As a boy, He spent endless days creating art and exploring the fields and woods around him. Now he spends time with his family, painting, and exploring the rugged Wind River Mountains that overlook his house and studio. Living in Wyoming has had a profound effect on his work. The space, sense of isolation, and wildness of the land continues to amaze, mystify, and inspire him.His works are known for their textural qualities and natural subjects. Images in his work work are from the natural world; horses, birds, deer, all manner of plants, and landscape. He intermingles / obscures these more representational images with scratches, marks, glyphs, drips, etc. When he is not painting, he spends time mountain biking, hiking, cross country skiing, and snowboarding. Flint's work is collected publicly as well as privately including: the Audax Theater Group, New York, New York; The Nicolaysen Museum of Art, Casper, Wyoming; The Scott Opler Foundation, St. Petersburg, Florida; The Wyoming State Museum, Cheyenne, Wyoming; and Spink Butler LLC, Boise, Idaho. Artist Statement My paintings are of animals, plants, and landscapes seen through a moment of shifting focus. I paint the way I explore the rugged mountains by my house, always pushing to see what is over the next hill, searching for the unexpected. I begin my paintings without a plan. No preliminary sketches are made; every thought is worked out directly on the canvas. Artifacts of the creative process can be seen in the rich textures, worked surfaces, and veiled light qualities created by working and reworking the piece. As one image comes into focus another is fading away, retaining a piece of the previous while hinting at what might come next. The result of my search in paint mimics the constant series of changes I see in nature.
