chungmatthieu Matthew Chung
Matthew Wang is a London-based Chinese-American artist working across painting, sculpture, installation and animation. Through experimentation and material exploration, he explores the emotional and spiritual dimensions of being human. His work transcends cultural and geographic borders, creating a visual space that reflects the complexities of identity while envisioning a future built on unity, equality and love. The Kiss Choco reimagines Klimt’s iconic fantasy by reversing the dynamic between the figures, with the woman becoming the active force, seizing the moment and leaning in to kiss the man. This inversion unsettles the familiar narrative, shifting a symbol of male desire into an image of female agency and tenderness. The work speaks to the undefined space between art history and lived experience, where intimacy, power and desire are renegotiated in an era of cultural and technological change.
free_painting_services Matthew Freeborn
Matthew Chung is a Korean-American multidisciplinary artist working across image-making, printmaking and sculpture. Rooted in experimentation and research, his practice transforms documentation and assemblage into poetic reflections on identity, memory and belonging, reimagining how experience is perceived and shared in a rapidly evolving world. The Fleeting Nature of Childhood captures the delicate impermanence of a dropped, melting ice cream, an everyday moment of childhood disappointment and sweetness undone over time. Matthew Chung employs 3D scanning to preserve the form in flux, freezing it at the edge of disappearance. The scan is then 3D-printed to create moulds, cast in durable materials that transform a transient accident into a lasting artefact.
Max Bates is a London-born artist whose practice unfolds as a visual essay on modern British heritage. Working with raw industrial materials, he creates large- scale sculptural works that draw on nautical motifs to explore themes of society, history and identity. His lifelong connection to the River Thames informs both the form and meaning of his practice. Untitled is composed of a skeletal structure of rebar and concrete. The work engages with and disrupts conventions around archaeological heritage, creating a sense of irony and dissolution through the use of raw industrial materials to construct a traditional yet ambiguous nautical form. Bates draws on nautical symbolism as a means to reflect on and juxtapose contemporary British society, history and identity.
Matthew Freeborn is an artist working across expanded painting, assemblage and performance. Using theatrical hooks as a point of departure, Freeborn employs found and reclaimed objects as substrates, props and protagonists. This material approach sustains an environmentally conscious practice while introducing elements of chance, allowing Freeborn to explore landscape, narrative, absurdism, mark-making, tactility and symbolism. The absurd, the cinematic, theatrical, the fragmented, the isolated. Chance encounters and the land of long discussion.
