Matt Remsbecher

Born 1985, Matthew Remsbecher had a varied and colorful childhood living with his father, a carpenter, traveling throughout Colorado and Washington state. Living under unconventional means, Matt was exposed to a variety of unique living conditions, art and artists which informed his unique and honest experience and impression of the world. Finding connection with nature and craftsmanship, Matt connected with the power of creation and creativity- sculpting forms in the woods and traversing the high desert plateaus of Colorado. Developing a sense of design and vision into his 20s, Matt found his way to a professional education in Sustainable Design and Urban Planning; a discipline that allowed creative explorations combined with technical expertise and practice.

Establishing himself as a notable designer and builder in Bellingham, Matt has applied his creative and technical practice to a host of artistic mediums including 3D sculpture, projection mapping, video performance, DJing and creative fine arts. Furthering his practice into his 30s and early 40s, Matt works to cultivate subtle forms of fine art that evoke a calm presence of form and color. Meant to be minimal and abstract, his works utilize organic forms, materials and gestures- presenting us with subdued shapes and colors and a process of self discovery of emotion, feeling and visual intrigue.

Artist Statement:
Matt Remsbecher (b.1985) pulls inspiration and technique for his works from his education and experience as an architectural designer and builder. Exploring subtle forms and textures, he works to discover the abstract and undefined with mixed media and restrained colors pallets. His work evokes calm, often monochromatic scenes of organic forms and gestures, allowing the viewer to find their own meaning and emotions from the works.

While still exploring various mediums and working towards final forms, Matt’s work lives in the subtle, the less is more, the simple, ideas of minimalism and minimal structure. These works help us question the edge of art and process, of texture and color. At times, his works attempt to reach us with as little form and color as possible, begging questions of where art starts and ends.
