Matt Macintosh (b. 1976, Guelph, Canada) is an artist and curator based in Kamloops, British Columbia. He has a Masters of Visual Studies from the University of Toronto, where he received the prestigious UofT Fellowship Award two years running. Matt has exhibited in Canada, the US and Europe and his works are held in numerous private and public collections.
Matt reflects on his deep historical art knowledge to inform his practice. Traditional materials, tools and colour selection claim their place within centuries of Western oil painting. The basis of that tradition leads the relationship of colour, shape, and tone, to suggest activity and movement happening around a roughly symmetrical plane. Brosia is part of a series of paintings that responds to Caravaggio’s ‘Incredulity of St Thomas’ and the moment in which Thomas points his finger to Christ’s wound.
