Matthew Schofield, Detail of six decades
Matthew's piece entitled Six Decades consists of six oil painted panels; each representing a decade of his mother's life. The panels are intimate in scale. The paintings are snapshots of a well-rounded individual and by painting six separate panels Matthew attempted to capture the personality of the sitter. This piece is a finalist for the Kingston Portrait Prize in Canada.
Matthew has created a companion piece of his father which consists of six panels representing six decades. This piece is currently hanging in the National Portrait Gallery of London UK.
