Matthew Bromhead

Matthew Bromhead works between sculpture and drawing. His recent sculptural works reference the notion of chance versus intent; the arbitrary acquisition of materials versus their deliberate combination. They often contain kinetic and magnetised components.

Matthew Bromhead received a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the College of Fine Arts, UNSW in 2008. He held his first solo exhibition, Tempest Travel (2010), at Rex-Livingston Art Dealer, Sydney, followed by Firstlight (2011) at Ray Hughes Gallery, Sydney and Landlubber (2013) at Firstdraft Gallery, Sydney, Lapis Leisurely, at Bathurst Regional Gallery (2016), and most recently held a solo exhibition Longline at Galerie Pompom, Sydney (2018). His work has been included in numerous prizes, including the Paddington Art Prize (2017) and the Hazelhurst Art on Paper Award (2016, 2019). He was represented by Ray Hughes Gallery before its closure in 2016. In 2019 Bromhead was the inaugural recipient of the KRP studio residency in Kedewatan, Indonesia. Bromhead will exhibit with Olsen Gallery in 2021.
