Trouble on the Water

Matthew Huntley combines childhood nostalgia for shows like Power Rangers, Powerpuff Girls, and Megas XLR with his love of Baroque and 19th century academic art, and he uses traditional materials to create large-scale narrative paintings of gigantic heroines and monsters. Inspired by memories of growing up in a dysfunctional household, his paintings explore non-traditional gender roles and femininity. He currently lives and works in Indianapolis, Indiana.
