BIO
Sacramento Artist Mathew Glaisyer holds a BA from California State University, Long Beach and has taken ceramics classes at Sacramento City College. He maintains a studio at ACAI Gallery & Studios in Fair Oaks, CA where he creates works in clay.
ARTIST STATEMENT
My artwork is intuitive, expressionistic, and completely improvised. When I create art I plunge into the vast unknown, working with no plans or expectations. I work with a vigor that approaches a type of mania, frantic, yet controlled. The implementation of random carvings and surface treatment further emphasizes the abstract expressionistic aesthetic I desire. I believe that art and the creative process is synthesized by subconscious thought and desires. For me, it is a visceral and meditative process. Although I work from within, I do reference the works of Peter Voulkos, Robert Brady, Clayton Bailey, and Glenn Takai.
