Event: Babushkas Adventures
Dates: 27 Apr 2018 - 2 Jun 2018
Mathew's current exhibition in AS Gallery is a retrospective look at the Babushka paintings he made while living in Tallinn, Estonia. In a world where making a living from selling art is difficult he turned to the subject of souvenir as an art form. The Babushkas are painted with the theme of his experiences living in an ex Soviet country and visiting Russia. As an Australian the artist was brought up to expect Russia to be a villain. On experiencing the truth he found that the Russian culture is very diverse and full of interesting topics.
This exhibition is a reproduction of previous works that were never exhibited together.

Biography
Mathew checks his emails regularly. Painting orders are normally shipped the day after the request is made. Smaller paintings come with their inside frame so you can hang them straight away. Large paintings come rolled up. All the buyer needs to do is take the rolled up painting to a framer or art materials shop and get it put onto a frame
Please feel free to email Mathew any questions.
