Matthew Simons

Artist Statement: 
Matthew Simons is a visual artist based in Easthampton, Massachusetts, who seeks out visual conversations that are ­dynamic, unorthodox, and experimental. He is driven by the ­excitement of transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary.

Influenced by many years as a graphic designer, Simons’s work often reflects a flat, mechanical aesthetic that blends ­precision with spontaneity. His practice draws inspiration from pop ­culture, graffiti, texture, and line—elements that merge to ­create a distinctive visual language.

Primarily working with ink on paper, Simons uses printmaking techniques as a foundation, occasionally integrating ­collage, drawing, and painting to deepen both texture and ­meaning. Through this process, he strives to balance control with ­experimentation, creating works that invite reflection, curiosity, and dialogue.
