About the Item
Artist Comments
Artist Matson Ambroise depicts a woman's portrait, painted in contrast to an opposite dark panel, with raw canvas exposed in between. The subject's long hair falls gracefully in loose curls, partially covering her features. Matson produces a timeless contemporary piece with an arrant lightness that lends to its displayability. The palette knife application builds texture and creates dimension within the composition. The painting comes with an unlacquered brass frame.
About the Artist
Husband and wife artists Amber Flora and Matt Reid paint contemporary portraits characterized by a combination of distinct palette knife work and detailed figurative renditions. After a decade of on-and-off collaborations, they decided to create a series of paintings. The outcome exceeded their expectations, leading them to continue as a professional team, and merge their creative forces under the artistic persona named Matson Ambroise. "It is the culmination of two lives lived together in the pursuit of pure creativity," says Amber. Matt grew up passionate about art, with his mom and uncle being artists. Amber Flora completed her BA in Art History at California State University, Long Beach. Today, their studio is a spacious, brightly lit space overlooking miles of California's high desert. While they work, the background hums with 60s samba music as their pit bull, Marlin, keeps them company. When they're not in the studio, they enjoy adventures with their three young children and spend half the year at Manhattan Beach, where they both grew up. Additionally, Matt is a musician who tours with his rock band called NORMANS, and Amber is a devoted long-distance runner.
