Bio

Matt Frantz is an artist working in Southern California. His art often incorporates a variety of techniques and media. His most recent series include ink on paper, alternate process photography, and digitally manipulated photo transfers onto panel with paint.

His work alternates between stylized figurative work and nonrepresentational imagery. This range is necessary to satisfy both the need to capture aspects of observable reality and to express less tangible thoughts and feelings. Observation, imagination, and expression are the primary adjectives used to describe the motivation or intention behind the work. Single pieces may stray from any given theme or style of other bodies of work because of curiosity and the need to explore creative impulses.

Frantz has a Master of Fine Arts degree with formal training in both fine art and commercial art. He has instructed classes at multiple colleges in composition and color, digital imaging, drawing, graphic design, illustration, multimedia production, photography, and video.

This site is focused on personal work, to function as an online showcase and contact point for fine art and photography galleries.
