ABOUT ZORIAN Zorian Matthews is a Brighton artist based in his seafront gallery, in the renowned Artist Quarter, displaying and selling his latest paintings. His work has a photo realistic style that incorporates light and shadow, reflection and movement, texture and pattern into his painting. He aims to capture elements of his subject that often remain dormant and undiscovered. Zorian is inspired by the natural landscape in its various forms and the changing elements that have shaped it, together with the introduction of the 'man-made' into this environment. His experiences from travels around the world, to far flung destinations, are combined with imagination and memory, to create a work that evokes and highlights the intrinsic mood within the subject and produce a lively characteristic. His work has evolved over time, through a steady development in colour, composition and style, capturing his own individual observations to portray a strong central theme to the painting. He uses bold, vivid colour with fine detail to capture exotic locations and dramatic landscapes. Towering mountains, turbulent seas and thundering skies sit next to works of burning sunets, tropical beaches and tranquil lakes.
