Nature is the primary concern of Matt Duke’s art work. There is an aesthetic beauty in the simplicity of the sculpture, which depends heavily on line and colour and evokes a moment in time captured perfectly in the fascinating medium of bronze. His twenty years experience in the rare skill of patination is evident in the bold and vibrant palette only permitted to this metal.
Matt is beginning to open new relationships between force, movement and practical application to the well established subject of the natural world and has combined the skill of the traditional and familiar with the style of the minimal and new age.
