Matthew Swift is an Artist who lives and works in London. He graduated from Central/St Martins in 1989 with a degree in theatre design. In 1994 he began making his own artwork in a studio in Shoreditch. He graduated from New York University with a Master of Fine Arts in Studio Art in 1999.

Witnessing the constant flux of city life, Matthew takes mental snapshots of what he sees: Clouds slipping across a bruised darkening sky; smoke emptying from chimneys into a frozen grey morning; city dwellers making their trajectory over patched urban landscapes. He reconfigures these experiences to create unexpected relationships between colours, shapes and forms. As well as paint, he uses a range of materials to allude to this re-aligned world which includes photographs, furniture and pin-board.
