BOOBAH BOOSCA I AM AND BURNING SUNSHINE

Matthew Dean

EXHIBIT: FRIDAY 9 JUNE – SATURDAY 1 JULY

Matthew is always in the moment – both in the drawing and creating process, and in his subject matter. He is constantly asking “What is the time now?”. He explores themes that are relevant to his interests in pop culture and current events in Australian society, absorbing and translating snippets of current news like a sponge. His work depicts national holidays, TV shows, traditions and world-famous events, which he draws and then layers with text. He uses language in an absurd, often humorous way, and his spelling is unique but he translates it so others can share the stories.
