Going Underground

The artwork portrays the dynamic energy of commuting life in London, featuring both the bustling Underground and the iconic red double-decker bus. In the Underground, passengers are packed into dimly lit carriages, capturing the sense of urgency and routine. The double-decker bus, with its bright red exterior, contrasts this with a view of passengers gazing out over the busy city streets. The piece highlights the contrast between the underground's enclosed, industrial feel and the bus's open, vibrant atmosphere, reflecting the pulse of everyday urban life in London.

Matt draws inspiration from urban environments and the vibrancy of the city which he presents onto the canvas with a distinct sense of energy. Matt has described how he is concerned with capturing the ‘immediacy’ of those surroundings that people become immersed in.

His technique of applying the paint quickly to the canvas in a perhaps more sketch-like manner lends itself to the fast-paced lifestyles of today’s society that Matt is eager to convey. There is often humour and wit in the scenes that Matt reveals to us, but he also captures those moments of human isolation in the contrasting chaos of busy city life.
