About:

Matthew Walton is a Toronto-based artist. His mixed-media work (acrylic, watercolour, pastel and pencil on paper) highlights the quiet charm of everyday queerness, reimagining mundane moments through a vibrant technicolour lens. Inspired by graphic design and the human form, Walton crafts bold, figurative compositions that merge geometric precision with fluid expressiveness. Walton’s vignettes invite viewers into intimate, relatable scenes that blur the line between “public and private space,” and it is within this liminal realm that his Cubist-coded figures live, uninhibited. Drawing from his background in animation, Walton utilizes body language as a narrative device, and by embracing tell-tale gestures and mannerisms once repressed, Walton’s work celebrates the beauty of authentic self-expression.
