Matt Brown

Matt Brown has been a professional artist since 1997 and has been producing fine art full-time since 2005. He qualified in animation at Lough House Animation Studios where he worked as a 2D animator, a 3D animator and learned about other areas of the production cycle. He earned his living as a graphic and web designer, doing art and animation on the side until the internet matured. He makes digital paintings and prints them on canvasses coated with clear acrylic. Since I began this project, I have been operating under the idea that I may be printing the final images on canvass to further reference the painterly styles that I am emulating. His bright colors, rich textures, and graphic line work attracted me to his work, and I hope to achieve some of these effects in my work. While his work that more computer-like and flat is very interesting, the more textured works are more appealing to me. His works have inspired me to attempt to combine some of my images to make more intricate designs or adding in computer generated design elements to enhance the images.
