'I'm working with landscape and mythology. Two figures - males and female, land and sea: It's a way to explore something, coming again to places in Cornwall I experienced as a child, moving between the symbolic, the imaginary and the real.'

Born in 1951, in St Ives, Cornwall, Matthew is the second eldest son of the celebrated painter Peter Lanyon (1918 - 1964) - an undeniable influence in Matthew's work. Matthew studied at Leicester University and, from 1973, travelled through Greece, Turkey and Italy; in 1975 he explored India, Sri Lanka and Nepal - strong cultural influences that are evident in his paintings. Matthew moved back to Cornwall in 1985 and began working as a painter in 1988. He has exhibited extensively in London and the south-west - including Tate St Ives, and is widely collected.
