The Portland Zoo.

 

Just wrapped up this fun 80’ panorama mural for my friends at The Portland Zoo. All spray & limited to the brands 5 colors, an enjoyable challenge with this ‘Crystals & Lasers’ style of layered geometry. It had been a while since I painted one of these & I had a blast. Stay tuned for more photos & videos from the evening time when the spot is popping. Def one of my favorite places to catch a cold beverage after a bike ride around the peninsula. Big up to Chris, Mark, & the Zoo Crew!

M A X I M A L I S M – Matt W. Moore Solo-Show : Sacred & Profane Gallery.

I’ll be showing a bunch of recent artworks completed over the past 5 years in my next solo-show at Sacred & Profane. Several recent painting & sculpture series will be on display, including further explorations in 2D / 3D / Color / B/W. I’m hyped to get all this work hanging 360º in such a great space. There will be lots to see, and as the title of the show suggests, plenty of harmonious complexity in each of the artworks.

Turquoise Trigonometry Series.

Works-In-Progress. Hundreds of layers of matte latex paint deliberately applied with spent rollers to achieve a grainy concrete-esk finish. Having a fun time with these.

SHADOVVS : Mandala Series 2022.

I’ve been having a blast working on a new series of 3D works. For this collection I focused on organic symmetries & designed each almost entirely with groovy curved lines. Each was painted with just one matte color to allow the lighting & shadows to enhance the dimensionality. I’ve done the best I can to document the final works & some of the process too, but as with all 3D artworks these are best experienced IRL. I was pleasantly surprised to realize the acrylic sheets I used for the cuts are in fact only semi-opaque & when lit up each tier of the design takes on a different shade. Definitely something I will be experimenting more with in future works. I really enjoy creating these 3D works & I am always searching for opportunities to bring them to life for XL installations. *Surf thru my recently updated website to see all past #Shadovvs work.

MWM X LandYachtz 2022.

I recently had the pleasure of collaborating with LandYachtz on a collection of new skateboard designs. The first one to drop is this fast & fun 28.5” ‘Dinghy Classic’ cruiser. It’s always a dream come true to have my designs featured on boards. Some of my earliest memories of deciding to be a graphic artist were inspired by my love of this culture & all the rad artworks that are showcased on the gear. I’m super grateful for all of the opportunities over the years to design for skate, snow, surf, and streetwear. Big thanks to the LY crew. Stay tuned for more soon.
