VISUAL STUDY OF SOUND LAYERING
Painter Trek Matthews may be Wisconsin-bred, and his work may appear everywhere from Atlanta, Georgia, to Tokyo, Japan, but it’s Weimar, Germany, where he now finds his influence. “My current work is based off Bauhaus’ ideas of construction, composition and form, but working within a natural contemporary context with my palette.” For Matthews, this German approach translates to his creation of abstract spaces using letter and character forms in addition to flat planes of color in soft, muted tones to illustrate travels made in different places. “I want to create space that is not clearly identifiable in its scale in relation to the viewer,” he says.
