Matthew Brennan
/Matthew Brennan is based out of New York City and his current studio is located in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. He was trained at Pratt Institute and received a Bachelor of Fine Arts with Honors. Since 2005, his drawings, paintings and sculptures have been exhibited in shows throughout the Northeast. Brennan’s artistic practice is rooted in drawing and he has been an active member of the figure drawing community within NYC. Aside from personal art projects, his work has been printed as illustrations for the New York Times and he has completed many prop and puppet fabrication jobs for clients including The Jim Henson Company, Puppet Heap and The New York City Opera. These build based jobs help him think dimensionally and this greatly adds to the way he composes and constructs within a drawing. Brennan had his first solo show in April of 2018 where he showcased four years of drawings based on the inspiration of fish translated to human movement. Currently, his new body of work includes bodies engaged in transmutation and alternate possibilities of motion.
