Matthew Green on artblog radio

Matthew Green is a New Jersey painter and graphic designer we met in 2003, our first year of blogging. On a hot summer First Friday in Old City and he was selling his beautifully-rendered paintings of some of Philadelphia's abandoned buildings. The affect was pristine and forlorn, and we were astonished to see him out there hawking his wares on the street -- why wasn't he in a gallery? Ten years later, we met Matt again and found out that now he's selling his works online, and doing pretty well at it! He's never had a gallery. Matt's subject has moved into a different territory, the New Jersey Meadowlands, in a project he calls Five Miles from Times Square . The artist canoes the wetlands to take photographs which he later translates into paintings of beauty with content about the built environment. Like many artists, Matt has a 9-5 day job and comes home after work to his house, his family and his painting. He works on his own pieces from 9 PM - whenever. We talked with Matt on January 20, 2014.
