Matthew Hasty

The work of Matthew Hasty seeks to peel away any feeling of pretense and insincerity to give the viewer respite from a cacophony of visual noise that floods the modern world.   By portraying the inherent beauty of the local landscape of this region the artist tries to create a reverence for the natural world and render a feeling of solace and order amidst the chaos of the everyday. The artist draws upon an inspiration from the landscape painters of the 19th century. Painters from the Hudson river school such as George Inness as well as numerous Russian landscape painters such as Arkhip Kuindji, Isaac Levitan, and Ivan Aivazovsky
