The

About
the Artist
Matt
Curtis was born in Trowbridge, Wiltshire, UK in 1969 and
having a father in the Royal Navy meant that he moved
around the country for the first part of his early life.
Matt eventually settled down in Edinburgh, Scotland where
a life long interest in art led to place at Art College
studying Illustration and Media Design.
Towards
the end of his time at college, Matt started his career
in the art world as a freelance illustrator. He worked
mainly on illustrations for various local agencies and
companies such as the Forestry Commission.
After a few years working exclusively on illustration
work, Matt became more interested in fine art and began
to experiment with oil paints. Early subjects included
aviation art, landscape and portraiture. Many of these
paintings have been shown in local galleries and exhibitions
have included the Guild of Aviation Artists Aero Art amongst
others.
Recently, Matt has become less involved in illustration
work and more interested in fine art. He now works exclusively
in oils and specialises in military portraits and small
contemporary still lifes. You can see Matt's still life
work at www.mattcurtisgallery.com
As
well as an accomplished portrait
and still life and painter,
Matt is also member of the Guild of Aviation Artists.
His work is highly regarded and hangs in private collections
as far as America, Russia, Australia and Norway.
