Oil and acrylic on 2mm plywood sheet
Matthew Webber's Perspective
Artist's commentary
Last year I started working on twenty of these small studies which I made using a sheet of very thin plywood, so thin it almost looks like paper. Because it’s wood it has the strength and structure to withstand the heavy sanding and scouring that my process entails, and these small, somewhat delicate landscape paintings are the end result. The process begins as an abstract experiment, but then I find and emphasise an imagined landscape within the image.
Believe it or not
The majority of my paintings are made on found materials, often plywood panels, which are so often discarded at the end of a building project. Plywood is a material I love for its sturdy resilience and for that beautifully linear compressed edge.
