This is my latest painting, created using a gel plate, titled "Psychedelic Matt." It was part of a series of commissions and features Matt playing his guitar, captured mid performance. For this one, I chose to step away from minimal tones and instead explore a combination of neon hues and vibrant layers. The colors are bold, bright, and unapologetic, designed to echo the energy and emotion of live music, and to reflect Matt’s connection to the sound and spirit of the Grateful Dead.
To further tie the piece to the music, I incorporated patterns of flowers and flowing shapes into the composition, creating a visual rhythm that mirrors the psychedelic feel of the band’s sound. The neon palette and floral motifs become both a backdrop and an extension of the figure, suggesting that the music and musician are inseparable. "Psychedelic Matt" is both portrait and atmosphere, honoring not only the person but also the timeless songs he carries through his guitar.
