Matte’s work is so fun. I bought a few for my son’s bedroom – cheerful and bright.
so sweet, I love the cyclist!
Oh man! I absolutely adore these prints! I can just picture them in my bedroom! Thanks for letting me know about this great and talented artist :)
genius
Wow! Thank you so much for the nice comments! :)
His work is great and if you are anywhere Portsmouth, NH he is having a show with the very talented Jen Judd-McGee (of Swallowfield) at Nahcotta starting October 1st!
Great stuff, super cute & playful!
But I think they’re probably painted with guache, an opaque watercolor paint, rather than gauche, which is just plain tacky.
I have been a long time fan of Matte’s work and love that he has just come out with all of these wonderful new prints. I think it’s wonderful that such an amazing artist continues to make – along with his bigger works, smaller and affordable pieces! Thanks Matte!
Its Gouache :) The definition of guache was funny :)
Great work, Matte! — your agent, Lilla
Love your work Matte! Reminds me of how much I enjoyed hearing you speak at Velocity in Seattle earlier this year!
that’s me on the bicycle, the “real Vivienne” :)
I totally adore Matte’s work. It so has a touch of Mary Blair!
Thanks annkent! I like Mary Blair. I’m a huge fan of Ben Shahn ,Paul Klee , Vintage french magazines,Gnomes, Vintage volvo 122s wagons from the 60′s, The Atomium, Timberline Lodge,I find something new to love about the 40′s 50′s 60′s everyday.
