Matt Hawthorne, one our favorite Richmond artists has new work hanging in at Gallery 5 until this weekend.

The works in Richmond native Matthew Hawthorne’s upcoming series, Gut Feeling- comprised of a selection of his older and newer works- focuses on the relationship between man and the man-made. By intertwining elements of the organic and industrial, Hawthorne blurs the line between the two realms.

“I’ve been working to try and illustrate a connection between the aesthetics of the mechanical object made in man’s image, and a sort of skeletal, fleshy undertone to project a sense of embodiment.” -Matthew Hawthorne

Gut Feeling will be on display until May 29th. via the Gallery5 blog

I created Richmond, Virginia’s culture publication RVA Magazine and brought the first Richmond Mural Project to town. Designed the first brand for the Richmond’s First Fridays Artwalk and promoted the citywide “RVA” brand before the city adopted it as the official moniker. I threw a bunch of parties. Printed a lot of magazines. Met so many fantastic people in the process. Professional work: www.majormajor.me
