Matthew Picton’s latest three-dimensional paper sculptures feature historical, religious, and spiritual symbology intertwined with newspaper headlines of current world events. The artist’s new works combine the ancient with the contemporary through meticulous layers of text and imagery that creates intriguingly evocative visual narratives
Picton’s elaborate cut-out designs, constructed from newspaper headlines and texts, are disarmingly gorgeous and intended to disrupt preconceived notions of a singular worldview.
The exhibit includes the artist’s dynamic large-scale color sculptural works along with medium-sized artworks, elegantly executed in a softened black and white newspaper print palette.
