Marvellously Waltzing Pol Matthé

Blue carpenter pencil multiple. An ode to the dérive, the peripheral, and his children Marva & Walt.

Belgian artist, Pol Matthé was born in Antwerp (°1982) and has been living and working in Stockholm since 2014. His work is a poetry of assemblage, finding the right objects or images to convey the subtle, transient feelings of nostalgia and joy.  Matthé is an artist looking with loving, serious attention at commonplace objects and forms, made from simple materials such as wood or cardboard. Part research, part devotional act, he meticulously collects and catalogues his finds and acquisitions, before making intuitive leaps through categories - chopping things up, splicing them together, omitting parts - creating an enigmatic universe wholly his own and finding beauty in the most unprepossessing of physical forms.
