Hi-Fructose Magazine

Delving into the annals of art history, Pedro Matos presents a new series of paintings for his upcoming solo show at Martha Otero Gallery, “Building Castles Made of Sand,” opening May 17. Elements of portraiture and patterns culled from tiles and textiles mix and mingle in Matos’ new, multi-layered work. The artist filters these influences through a distorted lens, creating the illusion of blurring and even ripping and burning the images with his brush until they are reborn as new forms. Take a look at our preview of the show below, images courtesy of Pedro Matos.

In our latest issue, Hi-Fructose Vol.27, we printed a very special, exclusive 16-page Inside the Sketchbook section with color pencil artist Marco Mazzoni. Printed on toothy, heavy-weight sketch paper, it explores the artist’s thought process and showcases the beauty of his work in a brand new way. Take a look at the sketchbook and be sure to pick one up at the many places that stock Hi-Fructose all over the world or get it directly from us here:
