The new website will reflect Matthew as a unique and bold multi-media artist whose work holds depth and gravity whilst exploring what it is to be alive, beset by catastrophes and insecurities, privileged to be caring for animals and humans, and carrying forward his inheritance and love of Cornish art and British twentieth century culture, ‘like a kid with a big jug’. Matthew was a highly accomplished self-taught painter and poet and we look forward to creating more opportunities for his work to be understood and shared from new perspectives, generating joy, thought and action across generations for many years to come.
This beautiful website which has run since 2003, will remain online, probably until 2027, after which it will still be possible to view the contents on the online Matthew Lanyon Archive database of 2000 selected items of letters, drawings, ideas, art photographs, references, poems and autobiographical writings, documented life events, reviews, art books and original art from his almost 30 year career as a full-time artist living and working in West Cornwall.
With thanks to Anton, (@aion.co.uk) for his invaluable assistance with updates and to the people whose work has enriched this website, and all those who have entertained, guided, moved, loved, recognised and supported Matthew in his life and work. Special thoughts are with the family of Des Hannigan, who wrote beautifully about Matthew’s exhibitions, and who sadly died at the end of 2024. Please check out the new website and follow @matthewlanyonestate, your support and interest is very much appreciated.
