Exhilarating Emotions and Mesmerising Oil Paintings by Matt Talbert

Oil paintings by Matt Talbert focus mostly on the emotional state of the subject. The expressions on the subjects are mysterious, and instead of being photographed, they have been transformed into beautiful oil portrait artworks. According to Matt Talbert, "I paint people, but I am more interested in conveying an emotional state rather than illustrating an outward appearance. By blurring the line between our physical reality and the reality in our minds, the figures in my paintings reside in a world not quite our own." Matt Talbert is an abstract artist from Southern California. He graduated from Orange County School of the Arts and the Laguna College of Art and Design. His oil paintings have been exhibited at Arcadia Contemporary in Los Angeles and the Salmagundi Club in New York.
