for sales and enquiries please contact matt@graysmith.art
Matt Graysmith grew up in Stafford in the West Midlands and moved to Guernsey as a teenager, then London since 2020. His work is a wholistic form of portraiture where he explores psycho-geography and folklore through the stage of figuration. The world of his work is constituted of figurative paintings, film, sound and installation. He explores the mythic through the domestic; where a pile of bottles becomes a stone circle in a ritual for hangovers, urinals become fishing ponds and pylons become maypoles.
