Matt Dosa's art career started in graffiti, and although he now paints on canvas more often than concrete, street art continues to influence his work to this day – both in the materials he uses, and in the artists he looks to for inspiration.
His paintings are always partly, if not entirely, unplanned. He creates spontaneous landscapes of pattern and form, masking one part of the landscape while he creates another; not knowing how the whole will appear until the mask is peeled away. His work can be thought of as a sequence of experiments or iterations: each painting taking elements from the previous one, and building them into new environments. He works with texture and mixed media, with acrylic and spray paint at the heart of his toolkit.
