Matt Barter
Shore Roses and Bait Gloves - Botanical Still Life Yellow Pink Flowers Blue 2023

2023

About the Item

In this contemporary painting in oil on panel, a still life arrangement of pink roses and blue rubber bait gloves on a white cutting board is set against a sage green and black background. Signed on recto, signed, dated and titled on verso. Matt Barter’s paintings center on Maine, specifically the fishing industry in Frenchman’s Cove where he grew up. A self-taught painter, Barter is inspired by his own father who is also an artist, and by the great American painter Marsden Hartley. Matt Barter researches material for his work by spending time on the fishing piers chatting with the workers and learning about their lives/struggles. He calls this research "Downeast Anthropology”. The exhibition features six paintings that are primarily about connecting fishermen to their “gear” (the colloquial word fishermen use to describe all the varied items they use to fish) in meaningful ways. Barter uses storytelling and memories of his childhood spent working with his dad in different commercial fishing ventures. The charm of Barter’s paintings is both in its intentional naiveté and direct folk-inspired style. Matt Barter lives and works in Brunswick and Gouldsboro, ME.
