Artist Matt Davies uses images from newspapers, magazines, and other pieces of research when composing his paintings.

He also relies on the medium of photography to capture a split second moment in time , immortalising that moment in richly applied oil paint, the medium of paint and revealing the tension between the subject matter.

This creates a refreshing painting style that is consumed with influence, contemporary issues and visual culture.

His work achieves a raw immediacy and intuitiveness that is both fresh and intense.

This will be his first solo exhibition in a public gallery.
