MATTHEW ALLEN
Matthew Allen is a multi-disciplinary artist from Southern California. A former Surfer Magazine Art Director, Matthew's artwork is inspired by his time spent in nature, and his boundless curiosity, which leads him to consistently explore new mediums and means of expression. Matthew began making art in high school after suffering a seizure while surfing in Hawaii. Ordered out of the water for over a year he used the down time to foster his creative gifts. When he’s not making art, taking photos, or traveling the world showing his art, Matthew loves to spend time surfing, making music, and spending time with kids.

A story about what's left behind. Featuring new work by visiting multimedia artist Matthew Allen and Taos-based ceramics artist Logan Wannamaker. Whether fleeting or felt for decades, some experiences linger long after they end. In a collection of hand-carved block prints, Allen's impressions of his time in Santa Fe read like a field study. A fresh visual language of mountain ranges and high desert flora are pressed into natural fibers for safekeeping. Wannamaker's reverent forms are informed by a long-running dialogue with the land. His wood kiln houses a collection of artifacts mined from the depths; when the fire goes out he's left with ash and a treasure trove.
