Matthew Laurence is a contemporary artist who works and resides in Singapore. With over 20 years of experience in the field of fine art and art education, Laurence has established a complex visual vocabulary, which addresses contemporary concepts using a blend of photographic visual imagery and assorted mixed media techniques. His artistic practice, and the formalistic qualities within his work, reflect a metamodernism sensibility. From the depths of this visual language emerge notions of surrealism, wistfulness, and old verses made new—recurring themes present throughout his oeuvre.
