Matthew Lindop
Degree: BA Fine Art
University: University of the West of England, Bristol
Graduation Year: 2001
Lindop’s paintings are technical triumphs; large-scale meditations on paint using flat colours and hard edges. Many applications and layers of household gloss paint give the work a vibrant, polished, shiny and crisp appearance. This is high-risk painting, one mistake and the entire surface is ruined. Lindop uses subtle tonal gradations, retaining the integrity of surface, in order to create these structural pieces. Lindop has completed several commissions for diverse clients, including The National Health Service, British Airways, British Telecom and Esquire Magazine. Lindop’s work has been collected by The Professional Footballers` Association and Transport for London.
“The urban landscape is the inspiration for my paintings. I have a passion for architecture, buildings and structure; their overall size and design can be both awesome and humbling. It is when I am walking around cities that I am inspired to paint a specific building or view. The majority of my paintings are centered on London; this is due to my fondness for the city and the fact that it is my home.
Buildings are composed of defined lines, which is reflected in my work. I paint using flat colours and hard edges. I paint using household gloss paints, this gives the work a vibrant, polished, shiny and crisp appearance. I like to work on a large scale as I feel it increases the importance and stature of a painting.”
