Matt Greenwood was born Lincolnshire, England in 1991. Matt recently graduated from Falmouth University in 2017 with a First Class Honours degree in Photography and currently works as a photographer at Tate Galleries, London. His work has been exhibited globally, including Falmouth, London and more recently at the National Assembly Building of Seoul, Korea.
His practice enables him to explore the formal and spatial qualities of the photograph, whilst also considering the photograph as an object; a flat surface that could be manipulated and altered. By abstracting the forms within his photography, Matt is able to make objects appear new and unfamiliar; utilizing the potential for the camera to transform an object into a piece of art and to ask whether an object needs to loose all aspects of functionality for it to be considered an artwork?
Twenty One Rocks
Twenty One Rocks was founded in 2019 by Matt Greenwood, and is currently located in London. The studio aims to create objects that overlap the boundaries of functional and sculptural design.
