LINDOP, MATTHEW
"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'm walking around cities that I am inspired to paint a specific building or view. The majority of my paintings are centred on London; this is due to my fondness for the city and it is my home.
My work depicts the defined lines and hard edges of buildings. Using household gloss paints to create my paintings gives my work a vibrant, polished and crisp appearance. I prefer to work on a large scale as it increases the impact my paintings have."
