Elevator Boy Art Exhibit

Posted by TEA On August - 30 - 2009

Front CoverTEA Volume 14 artist Matthew Breakey (aka elevator boy) has been an avid artist who draws and paints how he experiences the world around him. Whether its creating works that express his darkest feelings, or showcasing his sometimes out of touch, extravagant sense of humor.

Matthew has attended OCAD for 2 years, and his most intimate, expressive works, have been when he's been free from school establishments and given time to come up with his "own" way to make his mark on any given material. Matthews works go from using unconventional materials to his first love of pen on paper.





Check out Matthew Beakey's Art Exhibit
