Acido Dorado

Visionary modernist architects have been creating sleek, contemporary dwellings that embrace the desert climate since the 1920s. In the middle of the 20th century, the striking geographical settings gave rise to a design movement known as Desert Modernism. Hidden deep in the desert, among arid sandstone, rock, cacti, and tumbleweed, one might never know these modern visions exist. 

Using a scrupulous method of capture, matthew’s work looks to alter our view of familiar habitats as conscious retrospections in fine art photography. His creative vision captures a calm and melancholic disposition in the landscape evoking an emotional response from within. Environments are appraised as simple, clean, and graphic impressions, and convoluted vistas are reduced to modest visions of wistful clarity. Purposefully devoid of people and any notable present-day objects, the images appear to have no concept of time. The discernibly banal metamorphosises into a perception of aesthetic beauty.

Matthew’s work has garnered numerous international awards, received recognition in global press, and featured in multiple exhibitions in australia and internationally.
