Welcome : : to the website of artist, Tom Matt. As a resident of New York, Tom finds inspiration on a daily basis all around him along city streets and avenues and through the people he meets. Experience his creative vision as you browse through the three main gallery links above:

The Series : : NY : : Taking the paper-of-the-day as his canvas, the artist finds city scenes that captivate and spark his creativity. With pastel as his medium of choice, he draws these views 'on-site' on top of the front of New York newspapers. The merging of city-news and city-views forms a unique portrait and synthesis of a layered metropolitan landscape. The series is available as commissioned artwork, originals, and limited edition prints.*

The Series : : Paris : : During the month of August 2006, the artist travelled to expand his creative vision and visited his first major city outside of the United States: Paris, France. Drawn ontop of its newspapers, his artwork captures the essence, energy and flavor of Parisian streets, waterways and landmarks.

Oil Paintings : : Working on-site, the artist creates cityscape paintings on tempered masonite. He enjoys the chiselled quality and texture of palette knives. These works are available as commissioned and original artwork.

Projects : : Original art and commissioned work of city-views created on toned archival paper are available and may be requested. Portraits, which Tom Matt draws 'live' in his studio, are also included. Clients are free to inquire if interested.

Portraits : : Portrait commissions are available from the artist, created 'from life' on archival paper or newspaper in the medium of charcoal pencils or pastel.
