“Matthew Lutz-Kinoy’s Mountain and Sea (2018), steeped in deep and pale reds with white, and Frank Walter’s five works hymning sea, moon, sun, and Walter’s native Antigua’s ever-shifting trees both offer landscapes where nature still gives and breathes – where colour becomes atmosphere and light moves with care, shaped by sensitivity to the spiritual presence of nature.” (Excerpt from Comporta text by Cindy Sissokho)

Where his ceramics are influenced by working with artists in Europe and Brazil, his large-scale paintings often installed like backdrops, tapestries, wall panels or suspended ceilings assert matters of pleasure, color, intimacy, motion, as fundamental. Lutz-Kinoy's work looks through a history of representation from the rococo to orientalism to abstract expressionism; challenging what constitutes the inside and the outside of the arts, the social and the self.

This work was part of the Southern Garden Of The Château Bellevue exhibition at the Consortium Museum : “In endeavoring to cover the entire space of the museum, to use the architecture as a vast pictorial support, Matthew Lutz-Kinoy is clearly not the first nor the only one to expand upon the modernist logic of "all over," or to test the limits of what is in or outside the frame. But it is with much more freedom, and beyond these twentieth-century considerations, that he turns this totalizing illusion of space into a contemporary theatrical and performative experience-creating a universe in transition, between various sources, contexts, realities, temporalities, and introducing an array of organic, erotic, poetic, cosmetic, seismic, sentimental, orientalist, onanistic, Buddhist, biographical sensations... The canvases, which cover the Consortium's gallery, dividing it into large segments, incorporate and transform Boucher's watery rocaille images, surpassing them through effects of erasure more than concealment.” (Excerpt of the curation text from Southern Garden Of The Château Bellevue at Consortium Museum).
