Episode 35: Matthew Beall

Welcome, Painter Matthew Beall an American ex-pat living in Germany to the show! Matt was born in California. He's a self-described coffee addict, golf nut, and oh yeah, painter. Matthew Beall paints abstractly.   He paints simply to paint. It is his opinion that it is totally up to the viewers to see what they see; to interpret a meaning for themselves regardless of whatever he names a painting. Matt prefers to use a limited palette. Many of his paintings are done by afterthought.  Matt says, "I believe black is a color, and black is very dominant in much of my work. I love working on paper. I am not sure if a painting is truly ever finished."   Listen in on the conversation as The Artist Index's host, Ron Fortier, speaks with Matthew Beall and focuses on how he ended up in Germany and how he's continued to paint and exhibit.
