Bob Matthews
London based artist Bob Matthews' paintings and sculptures reflect upon recent visits to communes in Germany. Reworking utopian motifs such as the hanging mobile, and considering the kaleidoscopic properties of various transparent materials he creates openly optimistic and well-meaning artworks that relate to each other.
