Matthew Green studied architecture at New York Institute of Technology with the the bulk of his studies done at Rowan University in New Jersey, where he studied painting and printmaking. He considers himself to be a realist, and tries to capture more than the physical structure of a building or landscape, by finding the essence of a subject, as it speaks for itself as a metaphor for the abandonment, neglect and alienation of modern life.

i love this work i think the continuous mature theme is just what every corporate art collector wants for commercial buildings and lofts………… the painter should lease them out and not sell them to one owner.

The artist plans another project soon. I am looking forward to his work on that one. He has a very unique style.

I’m documenting my latest painting in an act of shameless self-promotion. If I stick to this I will essentially have the whole thing from beginning to completion captured on video. I thought it was such a ground-breaking idea until I looked it up on youtube and found that lots of artists do just that. Whatever. Here’s the link for the most recent upload from early morning 3/19: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vmw4pf3-1U4

I think it’s a great idea. Promotion of one’s artwork is not shameless whatsoever.
