Art & Design. Matzu MTP's Website
Art & Design. Matzu MTP: Matzu's genius is so low key that you probably missed it. We first met him in Williamsburg during the Brooklyn Hip Hop fest, on a random journey for some food. He was working on an installation for Triple Crown. We stopped, looked at his work and before we knew it, we were engaged in a deep conversation with him about art and the area. It's funny how you can bump into inspiration and not realize it's impact on the world. Here it was, we happened to catch him while painting one of the freshest murals in BK. Matzu is making a serious impact. Yet, on that day, he was the most humble, low key person you could meet.
Matzu has a new website. You can view his work there. For a little background, the artist collective, Dream So Much, has a nice bio on him: "MATZU-MTP interprets the contemporary street art movement by applying Japanese techniques and sensibility to his large-scale paintings through brush strokes and iconographies, as well as color palette and the use of negative space. He is alone in his ability to explore the edges of cultural identity. His works flirt with the boundary between traditional Japanese art and urban American street influences. And he pursues that inspiration with tremendous exuberance and a fresh design language that's filled with human emotion."
