MATTHEW HINDLEY, A Final Look at the Picture
Oil on canvas, 98 x 130 cm
Matthew Hindley’s artistic focus has grown and developed over the years, from portraiture to abstraction and now the exploration of the landscape. A residency at the gardens and wetlands of Leeu Estates in Franschhoek provided the landscape muse for this new direction, and Hindley continued the series, exploring landscapes of personal significance to him: the view from his former studio, the road where he now lives, the forest he and his daughter visited on holiday. Hindley refers to these works as Memoryscapes – the scenes are laden with his personal memories as well as the significance assigned to them from the wider communities who treasure and protect the important places of outstanding natural beauty. Vibrant, luminous and teeming with life the paintings do not claim ownership of the landscapes but rather proclaim an intense love for their subjects.
