About me

British born, Matt Crump is a multi disciplinary artist living and working from his home studio in sunny Brixton, London. Matt studied a fashion degree at Kingston University and earned a Ba Hons in fine art. Entwined, these two disciplines inherently influence his outlook and methodology. Matt is a quarter French, a quarter Moroccan and the other half British; an eclectic mix reflected in his various works of art.

His works from various projects are assimilated from antiquarian books and printed material scoured from dusty corners around the U.K and worldwide, with original source material dating as far back as the late 17th Century. Through this "up-cycling" using scores of detailed intricate images these pieces take on an immersive and detailed style with an aire of the phrenological. This technique sees the past reinvigorated back into hypnotic life with talismanic values.
