I have a solo exhibition opening July 11 and running through September 3, 2024 at the Peggy R. McConnell Center. It is located at 777 Evening Street in Worthington, Ohio. The colorful sculpture and painting in the show is about the signs and symbols left behind by the earliest humans in caves and carved on rocks as they migrated out of Africa and around the earth. Very early languages is a related topic I also explored.  I also made a group of geometric paintings that came out of my own moves and travels. The opening reception will be July 11 from 6-8 pm,  and there will be an artist talk on August 8 from 7-8 pm. I would like to invite you to come see the show, it's my biggest yet, filling 3 corridors and the gallery! I'm happy to meet you there anytime during open hours. There is ample free parking and lots of restaurants in the area up on High Street.

PAPER, PAINT & CANVAS

My creative process is heavily influenced by my love of typography, books, myth/stories, a wide variety of retro/ancient artifacts (Vintage paper publications, Neolithic cave paintings, Egyptian hieroglyphics) and, perhaps without realizing it consciously, my years of graphic design experience. This reveals itself most in the innate use of the cruciform composition.

I love to work in a heavily-textured mixed-media approach in my paintings. The tactile feeling of paper, paint and other elements helps me to better connect with the creative process.

My goal as an artist is to create new life from old forms. By mining a wealth of “decaying” material (discarded photos, old newsprint, books stripped of their covers, etc.) I seek to repurpose it. Through my work, I aim to connect the past and the present and hope that it may inspire the future.

The exhibition Mindful Cycles of Hope features the work of Matt Swift, incorporating three distinct types of art: abstract expressionist action painting with the help of a robot vacuum, meditational photography with digital manipulation, and video installation and mixed media experimentation. Each piece is accompanied by detailed information to enhance and deepen the viewer's understanding and appreciation of the artwork. For more work by Matt Swift.

As part of Mindful Cycles of Hope, at 2:30pm the artist Matt Swift will lead a short meditation on drinking. Meditation and mindfulness are a foundation of the works in this show and the artist’s creative practice. The artist will invite those at the reception to take a few moments to turn their attention to the drink they have in their hands, take a few deep breaths and focus on the marvel of the liquid that fills their cup and how that liquid is connected to a larger existence we often take for granted.
