Charles Matton

I went over to the Charles Matton exhibition over at All Visual Arts by kings cross about a month ago. The exhibition featured small scale sets, which utilised mirrors to manipulate the viewers perception of the set. Here are some examples of photos i took on my phone:

They were ridiculously clever, most of them were the size of a shoebox but gave the illusion that they went several metres back.

There was also some of his 2D work:

These pencils drawings were so good, a really good example of working with shadow and positive and negative areas of shading.

Some of the sets also featured clay people, this piece shows a series of heads, sort of positioned like an audience, a really nice idea:

the expressions give it quite a weird feel too.
