Heavy Metal Urban Art: Matthew Small

Matthew Small’s work has strong urban roots. By painting directly onto found pieces of metal, he brings physical elements of the city directly into his work. The subjects of his portraits are also found anonymously on the streets of London. Executed with astonishingly textured brushstrokes, Matt's pieces feel both abstract and incredibly real and vital.

These images were recently taken at Matt's show, “Youngstarrs”, at the Black Rat Press Gallery in London. Of the many stunning pieces throughout the exhibit, the most impressive had to be the large painted car hoods that hung from the ceiling.
