Charles Matton "Selected Works"
Forum Gallery
This event has ended.
Charles Matton's box constructions each an exquisitely detailed miniature recreation of a real or imagined location. Matton has said of his works: "I create two kinds of boxes: those whose purpose is to recreate an atmosphere that has delighted me, a memory whose existence I wish to perpetuate; and the more objective pieces that are the result of a detailed examination of the "realistic truth" of a certain place." Painstakingly crafted from wood, mirrors, moving pictures and wallpaper, depictions of the studios of a Classical Sculptor, of libraries and of a pianist performing Debussy will be on view alongside Matton’s Homages to James Joyce, Edward Hopper, and Lucian Freud.
