Tube 2

The artwork captures a typical scene of Londoners waiting for the Tube, showcasing the quiet moments of daily life. Passengers are absorbed in various activities: some scrolling through their phones, others engrossed in books or engaged in light conversation. A few walk briskly along the platform, while others stand still, waiting for the next train. The piece highlights the blend of isolation and interaction in urban commuting, with the stark underground setting providing a backdrop for the diverse, yet connected, lives of the city's inhabitants.

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.
