X-space and the ego painting is energetic. Matta did not paint objects or scenery. He painted the mind, emotions, humans and the
world.
He was interested in thoughts and how to portray them with
paint on paper. Why are human in a world
full of nature and what is their place and how do they fit in and connect with
this world, are all subjects of his art.
He uses bright colours such as red to give emphasis to his
ideas. Lots of lines give the paintings movement
and rhythm, you can hear the picture thinking.
You can grasp and recognise what the picture is thinking about.
And perhaps along with the millions of other people that
have bought his work you can hear the
same things from the pictures that they do.
Matta is a surrealist artist and had some good coaches but
many of his paintings have taken him into ‘action painting’ which is very
interesting to look at and has a lot of detail to hold your attention. You will look at the painting again and again
always finding something new and then delivering your own interpretation that
means something to you personally.
