Matthew Schofield

Matthew Schofield’s paintings are based on found photographs, with particular interest and attention given to the idiosyncrasies of the photographer and their chosen subjects. Typically rendered in a 1:1 scale, Schofield meticulously reproduces the original photographs with unsentimental observation. With the printed family snapshot rapidly becoming obsolete, Schofield pays homage and gives permanence to these personal documents that witness a specific moment in time.
