"i feel the articulations through my fingers when I play guitar. i look into them with eyes inward when they synergize with my thoughts... and then physical art is born... and its doesn't matter if anyone else sees my art, because the ideas are planted as seeds into the collective."
As a graduate of Industrial Design at the Savannah College of Art and Design, an Eagle Scout, camp counselor, whitewater kayaker, touring bicyclist, musician, performing artist, sculptor, spiritual journeyman, and all around artist, Matthew Cooper is on a life path of creative unfolding that is bound to impact the swelling tide of consciousness.
Through physical arts, he has chosen to synthesize natural form with modern techniques. The inspiration for such art is drawn through human experience, dreaming, communion with nature, and the ever-growing moment of “Ah-Hah!”
When Matthew has had his fill of warm Atlantic surf, he plans on riding the “Bike-Car” of his design across the country with a group of young and boisterously alive friends. After attending the World Naked Bike Ride Festival and Burning Man Festival, Matthew intends on stopping off in Oregon to study with Cape Falcon Kayak, building skin-on-frame kayaks. One can assume that Matthew will be kayaking the wild rivers and chilly Oregon waves, a lot. But that is only the immediate future for Matthew.
It is certain that wherever Matthew goes, he will spread his imagination and energy, while continuing to grow into full artistic bloom. "
