Matt Fawkes is an English artist and designer based in Stroud, Gloucestershire. He works in oil painting, sculpture and printmaking, centring around the themes of place, globalism and visual communication.
My artwork is conceptual, involving painting, sculpture and printmaking. The work uses traditional art and craft methods, such as oil painting, letterpress and woodwork. I often use materials with local provenance. I combine bold shapes and sparing text to create simple graphic compositions. My aim is to communicate complicated ideas about the contemporary world through a simplified visual language.
