Matthew Simons
Artist Statement:
Matthew Simons is a visual artist based in Easthampton, Massachusetts, who seeks out visual conversations that are dynamic, unorthodox, and experimental. He is driven by the excitement of transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary.
Influenced by many years as a graphic designer, Simons’s work often reflects a flat, mechanical aesthetic that blends precision with spontaneity. His practice draws inspiration from pop culture, graffiti, texture, and line—elements that merge to create a distinctive visual language.
Primarily working with ink on paper, Simons uses printmaking techniques as a foundation, occasionally integrating collage, drawing, and painting to deepen both texture and meaning. Through this process, he strives to balance control with experimentation, creating works that invite reflection, curiosity, and dialogue.
