Draft page: Matthew Quick

Matthew Quick is an Australian visual artist. Born in South Australia in 1967, Quick pursued a career in graphic design before turning to a career as a visual artist. His graphic design background is an influence on his paintings. Quick's paintings are characterized by photo-realist representation of the natural upon which highly plasticized, manufactured objects are superimposed, creating artworks that, despite the realism of the painting technique, depend on a conceptual recognition that borrows as much from French surrealism as it does from the dry, alienated realism of Jeffrey Smart.
