Matthew David-Smith is an artist based in Oxford, United Kingdom. I invite you to read this interview with him, especially if you’re a young artist trying to develop a career. “Smith’s visually active works are not necessarily there to be understood, they are to be experienced. The forms come from abstracted everyday iconography but also self-reference through reinvestigating previously used forms. Functioning as a visual scaffold, the forms support each other across the picture to balance and hold the composition.” –Coates & Scarry
