About

Matthew Marshall is a painter based out of Tempe, Arizona. Born and raised in the valley, Matthew started painting at age 17 and fell in love. Working primarily with oil paints, he focuses on creating images that make references to historical religious and landscape works from centuries past. Combining found images with narratives and abstractions, Matthew creates inconclusive narratives that are as much about the material as they are about subject matter.

Earning his BFA from Arizona State University in 2014, Matthew has remained in the desert and participated in numerous shows and publications. Most notably in 2016 he participated in the Art For Change Foundation's residency program in New Delhi, India. Upon returning he displayed in his first solo show through the Phoenix Institute of Contemporary Art.
