Matt Klein

Matt Klein is a Vancouver artist who has enjoyed painting the western landscape for more than 15 years. Not limited to the subject of landscape, he also enjoys the challenge and rewards of painting the human figure. With a colorful, "painterly" style leaning toward impressionism, Matt creates his realistic subjects with loose, textural brush strokes, giving the paintings a vibrant, modern feeling. Finding the beautiful, abstract nature in everyday objects and scenery is what Matt lives for as an artist.

Classically trained at a French "atelier" style art school in Boulder,Colorado, U.S.A., Matt developed a classical art foundation that serves his realistic tendencies. He has studied with many renown U.S. artists including Quang Ho, Scott Christensen, Kim English, Michelle Torrez, Robert Liberace, Sherrie McGraw, Kevin Weckbach, Robert Spooner and Chris Groves. Matt also loves to teach, and is currently organizing a landscape painting course in Vancouver. (click CLASSES on the home page).
