ewitt uses symbolic narrative to explore the notion of reality and fiction. Her paintings are presented as environments of connecting plots or pieces within a larger narrative, transforming the gallery walls into an experience reminiscent of children’s pop-up books and adventure stories. In her works she particularly draws on references from the contemporary Japanese Kawaii culture.
Hewitt lives and works in London and studied at the University of Brighton, Camberwell College of Art and Winchester School of Art. Selected exhibitions include:
2004: Scope, London; Soliloquy of Ours, R.K. Burt Gallery, London. 2003 On the Paper, Plus Gallery, Nagoya Japan. |

Much of Matthew’s work celebrates the sensuality of the human form - figures often luxuriating, nude, against lush decorative backgounds or sometimes frozen, naked, into empty fields of muted colour.The textures of flesh are captured with the use of layers of delicate colour and the sensitive rendering of light. The paintings often seduce the viewer with a dream-like flow of imagery, a careful attention to detail and an intense use of colour. |

I love art, because I can choose pieces that help me learn about me. It’s a personal conversation and it’s not personal. There is a collective aspect to it.
I prefer my work to have intimate interactions on a one-to-one level. I'm fascinated by the notion of collective memory and creating three dimensional spaces. I'm often creating staged, theatrical set ups that deliver a physical experience as well as a visual one. |
