June 10th:
Upcoming solo show at Koelsch Gallery in Houston.
Ten to twelve new pieces will be hanging. Check it out if you live in Houston, or check out the work here (the nine new images at the top of the page). Also, for those of you who live in the Bay Area or are who are visiting San Francisco and want to see some of my newest work, please drop by Dolby Chadwick Gallery, near Union Square. Available work can be seen here.
May 5th:
The creators of Soulpancake.com contacted me about including my piece, Mr. Answers, in a book they are publishing for the site. In case you haven’t heard about the site, it was spearheaded under a year ago by Rainn Wilson (who you might know as ‘Dwight’ from the NBC television show The Office). The mission of SoulPancake is to engage people in a creative exploration of life’s big questions and smash through the clichés and barriers that often prevent real, meaningful conversations. Since it’s launch, SoulPancake has gained a lot of momentum and has already been featured on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Nightline ABC, and Oprah’s radio show.
Apparently, I was one of fifty artists from around the world whose work they chose to include in the book. The book will be published by Hyperion in the fall of 2010.
Mr. Answers
OLDER NEWS:
El Yedioth, the largest newspaper in Israel, published my piece, "Keeping Time," in its culture magazine, 7 Nights. It helps to understand Hebrew to get the jist of the article, but my piece needs no translation...
My work was the focus of a recent article on the online design blog Monzuki. The article, Encaustic Narration, appeared Friday, November 14th.
My piece entitled "Buckaroo" was pubished alongside the work of a much more famous Houstonian, Donald Barthelme, in the Oxford American Magazine, a quarterly literary journal of southern writing.
Review of my work in the Philadelphia Inquirer from a group show last summer at the Rosenfeld Gallery:
"Results with encaustics are dissimilar for users Matt Duffin, Robert Solomon, and Lisa Sylvester, but most emphatic for Duffin, a miniaturist. Encaustics help him distill his visual search for personally meaningful items to portray, he "draws" by carving with dental instruments into a black, encaustic-coated surface. Thus Duffin steals the show with an approach to realism that's fastidious, autobiographical, and shadowless."
My work was part of the Metropolitan Home Magazine's Modern By Design San Francisco Showcase House. The piece, entitled Rabbit Hole, was on loan from Dolby Chadwick Gallery to Steven Miller Design Studios, a distinguished interior design firm that has often been featured in The San Francisco Chronicle, The New York Times Magazine, and Home and Garden. The showhouse will eventually be featured in Metropolitan Home Magazine.
And if you haven't seen it yet, I was interviewed by the online magazine, The Morning News. The editor is a contributor to the New York Times, NPR's All Things Considered, and the New York Times blog, The Moment, among other things.
