Mathew Curran. b 1979 Northamptonshire, United Kingdom
Mathew Curran received his Bachelors of Fine Arts in Art and Design at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. Curran is best known for his elaborate and large scale stencil work. 
He sites street art and graffiti from around the world as major influences. Recent gallery shows include NCNC at SECCA in Winston Salem, North Carolina; Divergence at North Art Space in Jakarta, Indonesia and Fat Cap Gallery in Sao Paulo, Brazil. He has a collaborative mural currently on view at The North Carolina Museum of Art in Raleigh, North Carolina and Georgia Power downtown Atlanta.
Mathew says, "My work is heavily influenced by urban American culture, with its random and unchecked energy and raw sense of possibility. I work with cardboard, spray paint, ink and photography. My work involves intricate stencil cutting, which I use to capture the virility and stamina of street life. My recent projects focus on reintroducing wildlife back into our urban landscape area. "
