My Visit to Matthias Van Arkel's Studio in Soho

Last week-end I had the pleasure to discover Matthias Van Arkel's artwork.  He has two studios one in Stockholm, Sweden and the other in Soho, New York City.  I met him at that second location, a brightly lit, top floor room, tastefully displaying his recent work.  I was drawn immediately to his silicon paintings, a playful exploration of color and the physicality of paint.  In the words of the artist 'they are paintings and sculptures at the same time'. The artist has many large, site specific pieces that I find intriguing and fun. Check out his website to see them. Below are a few shots from his studio.  You can contact him directly to see the work in person. Enjoy!
