Biography
Matthew Broughton, born in Geelong, Victoria, studied graphic design and printmaking at Gordon Technical College and the University of Ballarat, where he earned a diploma. Now based in Melbourne, Australia, Matthew has established himself as an illustrator, graphic artist, and linocut printmaker, specialising in the intricate craft of linocut prints.
Inspired by the serene beauty of nature, Matthew’s works reflect his deep appreciation for the natural world. Through meticulous observation and introspection, he strives to capture the tranquility and essence of his subjects in each piece. Drawing from a diverse range of influences, including Margaret Preston, Barbara Hanrahan, and the Sosaku-Hanga woodblock print movement from Japan, Matthew seamlessly blends tradition with innovation in his artistic approach.
For Matthew, art is a meditative sanctuary amidst life's chaos—a deeply personal exploration of creativity, nature, and healing. Through his creations, he invites viewers to embark on a journey where art becomes a bridge between the tangible and intangible, offering solace, healing, and glimpses of profound beauty to all who engage with it.
