Description: Painter Paul Matthews did not paint portraits, he painted what he called "peoplescapes" and landscapes. Matthews worked primarily with oil on canvas, often beginning with a wiping technique, so that the light of the gesso ground is visible. Stylistically, he had been described as a post-abstract expressionist. He was very interested in capturing the true nature of his subjects, encompassing both the good and evil that exists in us all. Matthews' paintings are narrative in nature; his groups of nudes, although often initially disturbing, draw the viewer into the story behind the image. - Bucks County Artists Database Catalog of an exhibition held at the Trenton City Museum at Ellarslie in 2011.
