Smoke Gets In Your Eyes

Matthew T. Perry is a Los Angeles based painter and visual-effects artist for TV/Film

His work focuses on the collision of past and future; the juxtaposition of the vibe of the mid-century with the duct-taped post-apocalypse. While focused on creating mood through color and variations in rendering, he hopes to capture a snap-shot of a greater narrative. In regard to narrative, Matthew is most interested by the mundane in-between moments in adventure stories. Those moments on the road: eating a meal, idle conversation, little anecdotes that drag you into a lived-in world and make you feel part of the experience. It is his hope that he can touch some of this sensation in his own work.
