Photography
Matt Glass is known for his narrative, cinematic photographic style.[1] His work ranges from comical and sarcastic to horrific and violent. Matt has been featured in several magazine and was an honorable mention in American Photo's Images Of The Year competition in 2007 [2] and 2008 [3]
In 2009, Matt exhibited his Apocrypha series of photographs. The visual style in this series is inspired by Baroque Art as well as modern cinematic lighting. In his artist statement he describes the work:
Each photograph represents a different narrative, but they all take place in the same apocalyptic world. In this world, an unknown event has left humanity in ruin. The source of the violence and destruction is never seen. The human reaction to this apocalypse is the focus.[4]
In 2010, Matt exhibited his newest series, The Origin of Waking.[5] In it, he supplements his photographs with music. Each image has a corresponding song.
... listening to the music can expand on the imagery of the photograph without spelling out exactly what is happening and what it might mean ... The songs don't have specifics, just moods. [6]
Music
Matt Glass was the drummer of The Brobecks from 2003-2005.
