Peter Matthews Biography

Peter Matthews is one of the most popular and richest Sprinter who was born on November 13, 1989 in Manchester Parish, Jamaica. Peter Mathews was born in 1978. Originating from Derby and a resident of Derby, he spent the majority of his time exploring the landscape of Derbyshire and its rivers and forests. Matthews credits these early walks to his desire for the solitude. in an interview on BBC News, he described his attraction towards nature’s “mysterious and omnipresent call of the wild.” As an artist, Matthews calls Cornwall his “ancestral” home. Matthews’ maternal grandparents “sold fish in Leicester,” claims Matthews, “so I like to think it’s in my roots,” when he is working in the sea . Though he has a strong restraining against the term “environmental artist however, he has been described as”an “ocean based visual artist,” and at one point even described as a “mystical waterman.” His work, which focuses on the sea in all its forms recognized as part of a long- standing history that has a long history of British artists’ love of the ocean, and includes artists like Turner (Fishermen at Sea , and Snow Storm: Steam-Boat off the harbour’s Mouth) as well as Constable (Seascape Study of the Rain Clouds). Andrew Friend, a contemporary of Matthews and Constable, also took an in-depth approach to his seascapes.

Matthews work has faced dangers, including being trapped on a beach by the mudslide (never to be seen again) as well as being drowned or being swept away by the ocean. The issues Matthews personally confronts are the same as those he faces in his surroundings. He was afflicted by hypothermia, numbness and sunstroke as well being bitten by snake-, dogjellyfish-, insect bites. This is why Matthews’ method of working is described as “eccentric.” To get into the right mindset to make the piece titled Through the forces of the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, Matthews constructed a speaker system from an audio player and tripod. He then played his own recordings of the sounds from ocean waves in the Pacific Ocean over a period of several days, floating on the Atlantic Ocean. One time Matthews immersed himself in the sea bed, where he painted with waterproof ink on canvasses weighed down with rocks. When in California the state, he would sleep in the desert of California and painted using “one of the blackest paints on Earth.”

Matthews style has been compared – in his “scratchy, abstract” nature–with the work of Cy Twombly and Jasper Johns and Jasper Johns, but with a greater level of stream of consciousness that often borders “the brilliant and the ridiculous.” Some critics have described Matthews’ works being “mind-boggling oceanography with Native American mythology, plus a splash of quirky inventiveness,” and also as “nervously textured.” Matthews’ company, the University of California, San Diego has utilized Matthews research as an illustration of the way public curiosity in topics like marine science and maritime history could be encouraged and developed.

Peter Matthews (born 1978) is an English artist who specializes in painting while submerged in water. Often, he is floating in or submerged within oceans. The duration of this process can vary from a few hours to several days. He uses art supplies strapped to his body and lets the motion that the waves and oceans make create his images for the artist. He has been referred to as a part of the extensive English history of marine art. Moreover, his abstract style has been compared to the style from American Expressionist Jasper Johns. His creative process has often caused him to be in danger, which has led to him being injured, or contracting diseases. Matthews work has been displayed throughout the world, and is being used to demonstrate aspects of research conducted by scientists on marine life.

Matthews first source of inspiration for his style of working came from a near-death incident. It happened while surfing in the waters off Mexico and the ocean was getting more rough and he began to be separated from his board. He was later struck by a wave that was rogue; at that point, it had been “floundering in the ocean with a gut-wrenching sense of fear, being completely at the mercy of the ocean,” the man later said.

Matthews’ has created his work in the earth’s oceans, Cornwall, Hawaii, and Taiwan. In doing so, he can spend long periods—ranging from hours to days— floating or submerging in the ocean. He keeps his artistic media either cached in his hat or strapped to his wrists or ankles. This includes charcoal and gel pens, and the surfaces he draws on can range from paper to canvas sheeting, pinned to “old piece of plywood” which acts both as a drawing board and a floatation device. Working this way, it has been said, helps Matthews try and capture the state of suspension people feel while they are bobbing in the water. This methood also allows him to explore—in his words—”the fluid midpoint between sea and land, thought and form.” Matthews often enters the water at dawn and may stay immersed until nightfall, and effectively “lets the ocean do the work for him”; sometimes the work is left exposed to the elements and tides overnight in which the piece continues its natural development. Matthews has described himself as merely being the “instrument” by which the sea “draw[s] itself.”
