MATT BODIMEADE

Matt Bodimeade’s new drawings are created on site in an area of the South Downs which he knows well. The area around South Stoke and Offham was his playground as a child and first work place as a farm hand in his teens.

It is a place for which he has much fondness, rich in memories - This is evident in this series of nine drawings in mixed media on paper.

Fields, borders and tracks are clearly defined, with a confidence that only comes with a deep knowledge of the place. The rich colours and layering create an image that is ageless and instantly familiar to all.

Having studied at West Sussex College of Art and Design and Brighton Polytecnic, Matt worked on a number of public and private commissions throughout the UK (including the Cass Sculpture Foundation).

Matt Bodimeade lives and works in West Sussex.
