Matt Mignanelli
My most recent works draw their inspiration from energy, pattern, light, and emotion. I'm currently exploring the relationship between nature and structure, which is relayed through my use of geometric shapes juxtaposed against organic forms. The vivid palette in which I’m working is influenced by the neon nightscapes that populate my urban environment. Through my work I am relaying personal narratives. Each piece is based upon collective memories stored within my subconscious.
My work strives to portray sophistication and precision in technique and execution. While maintaining a playful approach on the surface I strive to examine and provoke reflection on both environment and imagination.
