SUMMARY:Big City Community Art Gallery Artist Matt Schwenk
DESCRIPTION:Big City Community Gallery presents\, artist in residency\, Matt Schwenk. Matt Schwenk is an internationally collected mixed media artist\, who specializes in dazzling\, textural\, abstract and photorealism paintings\, under crushed glass.  In his new series\, Matt aims to take his greatest inspirations from nature and his travels\, and abstract them into dreamlike escapes. Some places may feel familiar\, and some places may be pure fantasy; Matt Schwenk invites his viewers to explore the lines between them.   \n     “I consider the success of a work\, based on how much time I can steal from someone. Is there a sparkle that catches their eye and draws them over? But more importantly\, once I have caught a viewers attention\, what can I share with them? Are there things to discover that keep them there? Can my work provide a small escape from the day\, where people can get lost via swimming colors\, organic movements\, dazzling lights\, and layered textures? I hope so. I view my work as an invitation\, and I hope people will find a reason to stay a moment\, in the little worlds I create. Who knows what they’ll find there? ”         -Matt Schwenk  \nCome explore Matt Schwenk’s new collection of dreamscapes\, at Big City Community Gallery September 4th\, and get lost in the colorful\, sparkling\, fantastical world\, that exist in his head.
