Matthew Gil

Matthew Gil bridges the fluid boundary between painting and ceramics, exploring the concept of plasticity across dimensions. Known for his intuitive, abstract paintings, Gil treats both canvas and clay as spaces born from the physical act of working: trading the illusion of depth on a flat plane for the literal volume of a vessel. These ceramic works – vessels he refers to as his angels – demonstrate a painterly devotion to texture and colour while evoking the lifted transcendent forms of chalices and goblets.
