Information provided by the Artist: Matt Duffin was born in 1968 and grew up in Houston, Texas. He received his Bachelor of Science in Architecture from the University of Houston. He never practiced as an architect, choosing instead to become an artist. Through art, he found that he could easily combine his tendency toward right angles and perspective drawing with the more human themes of solitude and irony. Over time, his medium has evolved from charcoal to encaustic wax, but he continues to dwell in the realm of dark recesses and stark contrasts. Collections include the Roll International Corporation, the Progressive Corporation and the Crocker Art Museum, and that of Mort and Marcy Friedman, among others. His illustrations have appeared on the covers of the New York Times Magazine and books by New York Times Bestselling authors Jonathan Franzen and Carlos Ruiz Zafron.
