Info
Matthew Curry bio_
Matthew Curry is a multidisciplinary artist and designer based in Washington, D.C., whose work spans analog drawing and painting, digital media, animation, and video installation. With over 25 years of experience in digital art, Curry creates visually layered, conceptually rich works that explore hybridity, recursion, and material transformation. His most recent work reimagines his own analog drawings through a process of freehand digital redrawing in Procreate, generating complex visual fields that merge past and present mark-making.
Beyond digital practice, Curry has exhibited analog works on paper and canvas as well as immersive installations incorporating both video and sculpture. In 2021, he completed Monster Imagination, a 32-piece permanent installation of painting and sculpture commissioned for the children’s section of the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library in Washington, D.C. The commission coincided with the renovation of the historic building, originally designed by architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe.
Curry’s work has earned two Grammy® nominations, been recognized by Apple, and featured in an ART TALK segment on VICE®. His art is held in public and private collections worldwide, including those of celebrities, acclaimed graphic designers, and both seasoned and emerging collectors. His work has also been widely published in print across art, design, and cultural publications. As a graphic artist and art director, he has collaborated with a diverse range of clients including Jeff Koons, Sheryl Crow, Adobe, Wired, National Geographic, The Smithsonian, AT&T, Intel, and Thievery Corporation.
Matthew operates out of his studio in Georgetown (Washington D.C.) with the support of his wife Eugenia and their son, Alexander.
