Matt Devine

Matt Devine is a self-taught sculptor working with steel, stainless steel, aluminum and bronze. Based in California, Devine learned to weld and fabricate metal while working alongside his father.

The contrasts of nature and industry, light and shadow, chaos and order are themes found throughout Devine’s body of work. Pared-down organic shapes are formed out of sheet and solid materials and welded together in harmony, often allowing the metal to appear as light as paper. These contrasts, plus the relationships of patterns and boundaries, address Devine’s desire to contain chaos and push out the discord of an information-saturated culture.
