MONOCULTURE | A Recent History

During his career, Danny Matthys made several trips to Australia, where he drew on the old and new art of the aboriginals. Based on these influences, he developed a very personal pointillist technique, which he uses to rework older Polaroid art series and create more recent collages, applying the various ancient and contemporary aboriginal techniques.

Since the early 90s, he makes what can be best described as a large, monumental mosaics out of tile shards. This process (which builds on older monumental collage work and his later pointillist technique) reveals a pronounced sense of indestructible timelessness.
