Matt Southworth's current body of work represents a daily painting process that he has developed over the last year.

"I decided to use digital painting as a kind of incubator for my thoughts when traditional painting felt too cumbersome and slow. I center my process around a sense of place that is more representative of a mind state or feeling than a physical reality and light and color are at the forefront of my decision making process. I think a lot about overlapping frames  and spaces, filters and surfaces that make up snapshots of a mind that is navigating both physical and non physical spaces. I want there to be a sense of calm always playing with shifting planes and color. For me this represents a new nature of the mind, one that is having to digest a constant barrage of information and form it into a kind of setting to navigate. My hope is that my paintings feel familiar but anchored in an unsettled reality. A mental array of frames and filters, pieces that we gather from our screens in our pockets and homes just as much if not more than nature and what’s around us."
