About this artwork
Part 3 of a 4-part series.
As much as any piece in the collection, "Orange' reacts strongly with light. Much of this has to do with the colours, which are predominantly yellow and orange, fading to whitish-yellow at the bright end of the spectrum, and very dark red at the other end. This fiery palette naturally reacts with sunlight and bright spotlights, coming alive under such illumination.
As the close-up images reveal, it is not just the colours… that react strongly with light - it is also the mixed media. This includes small stones and irregular-shaped glass beads, slivers of transparent plastic, and glitter. The stones and glass, in particular, react in beautiful and unpredictable ways, sometimes acting as lenses, focusing and scattering light across the topographical regions created by the thickened paint mixtures.

« I use thickened paint mixtures and light-reflective materials to create dynamic and varied abstract landscapes on canvas. My inspiration is the natural world. »
Matthew Hynds is an artist based in Sweden whose paintings have been widely exhibited nationally. In addition, his art has been featured in publications such as Art Reveal Magazine. Hynds's current abstract works explore light and how it interacts with the 3D shapes and materials that he applies to canvas. He describes his artistic practice as being determined by the timeless dialectic of chaos and control.
