These are mostly recent pieces. I have a large body of work beyond what is shown here and I'd love to exhibit them. I've gotten old and have never shown my artwork in a gallery. I am formally educated but have been a bit of a recluse for the last twenty years.
The color isn't perfectly accurate in all of the images but isn't that always the case. The photographs used in the works were taken by me with the exception of what is in the sketchbook. All of the work is painted on Arches and primarily acrylic based. I am now painting with oils again and the series "A Home for the Good Dead (Cape Cod)" is oil on canvas, all 10.5"x6". Yes they were painted while residing on the Cape.
I don't use social media. You can reach me by emailing holdenmatarazzo@gmail.com. I'm quite amiable.
