Matt Sheridan

Matt Sheridan’s video-based action painting explores worlds of constructivist expressionism where his work’s meaning comes from its actions. Each of his “painting-in-motion” videos unpacks its painting analog into experiential, architectural projections sometimes edited live on-the-spot.

Trained as an animator, Sheridan earned his BFA from NYU/Tisch School of the Arts and his MFA from Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California. He has taught at the School of Visual Arts, Pratt Institute and NYU in New York and Singapore, and at UCLA’s Geffen Academy.

Sheridan has exhibited work in museums such as Centre Pompidou, the Jeu de Paume in Paris and most recently CICA Museum in South Korea, won grants — including a Pollock-Krasner Foundation grant for painting — and otherwise participated in exhibitions, residencies, fellowships and events from Finland to Japan, India to Brazil, France to Australia and USA from New York to Miami to Los Angeles.

Matt Sheridan’s work is in American collections in New York, Los Angeles and Miami, and also Australian collections in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.
