MATTHEW WIGMORE

Matthew Wigmore is a visual artist whose abstract paintings capture personal stories, experiences, and his passion for seasons and festivals. Working primarily on a large scale, Matthew begins with detailed drawings and gradually layers color to create vibrant, dynamic compositions.

His practice emphasizes narrative through abstraction, combining color, texture, and scale to communicate emotion and memory. Matthew’s work celebrates both personal reflection and visual impact, engaging viewers with bold, bright, and energetic pieces that evoke seasonal and celebratory themes. Each painting reflects a journey from initial mark-making to fully realized immersive color and form.

Matthew continues to develop large-scale abstract works that combine narrative, colour, and layered composition, creating visually striking pieces that convey personal experience and celebrate seasonal and cultural themes.
