Toys by their miniature nature create a different perspective, easily drawing us into another point of view. By using toys in food I am able to construct worlds that seem strangely familiar but that, upon further examination, also reveal unexpected and playful scenarios. Blurring the lines of reality by altering scale. Basically, I tell stories – sometimes humorous, sometimes serious, but always rooted in our universal connection to food and others. -M. Carden More about Matthew: Los Angeles born Artist Matthew Carden grew up on a hearty diet of museums, theme parks, TV, and Movies. This abstracted world of toys, pop culture, and imagery of the 70's and 80's formed Matthew's colorful way of seeing and creating images. "With a dreamy quality his work creates worlds somewhere between reality and memories...." -R. Hackert, Collector When he was 20 he moved to San Francisco, finished school at SFAI, then opened the first fully Digital photo studio in the Bay Area. He then teamed up with his future wife, specialized in food photography, worked for an impressive list of clients, won awards, and traveled extensively for a wide range of projects. "...he has his very own perspective on food – quite literally: his work allows us to see food in a unique, witty, and enchanting way; close up, like a wildlife biologist who has managed to creep up on the object of his research." -M. Hoffman, Regal Literary "He approaches every subjects with a curiosity and sense of humor; juxtaposing food and common everyday items in unexpected ways to illustrate an idea or tell a story." -A. Martin, Art Director Matthew and his wife (a Chef/Author/Stylist) still provide food Photography and Styling for clients. Their website is 350degrees.com. Matthew's current projects include an exciting online project launching in March 2012, upcoming exhibitions, and exciting new commissioned pieces for private and public spaces. His work is collected and published internationally. For more information please contact the studio at studio@matthewcarden.com |
