Set Design

As a multidisciplinary artist specialising in hand painted set design, Mathew brings a unique blend of skills and experience to enhance production value. With a passion for painterly sets rooted from his background in fine art, Mathew is adept at creating visually stunning and immersive environments.

What sets Mathew apart is his wide range of skillsets, which allows him to approach projects from various angles. "As a visual artist, I have a keen eye for detail and a knack for bringing ideas to life. Whether it's a whimsical fairy tale or a gritty urban landscape, I can transport performances to a whole new level with my innovative designs. By collaborating closely with production companies, I strive to create sets that not only complement the narrative but also serve as an integral part of the storytelling process."

Fine Art Canvas Backdrops

Set design and backdrop painting is an extension from Matthew's fine art practice, infusing each project with a painter's perspective. Seamlessly blending fine art practices with photography and film, the multidisciplinary artist creates unique visual experiences for production companies.

Below are some examples of large scale (10' x 20') canvas backdrops mostly with oil paint, some acrylic, where Matthew aims to make a connection point between fine art painting & fashion.
