Tony
Matthews has been painting cars all his life, after completing an
apprenticeship in Hitchin, Herts, as a technical artist many years
ago.
Precision
is central to his work, in which he depicts the car in full, with
all its engine workings, nuts and bolts.
The
first exhibition of his work - a retrospective - is one of three
coming up at the Gordon Craig Theatre in Stevenage, Herts, over
the coming months.
The
collection includes plenty of variety, with an eclectic collection
of subject matter, style and technique.

At
the end of the month painter and printmaker Judith Foster will display
her paintings, reliefs and screen prints.
Tony
Matthews' autos offer a detailed look at the make-up of cars, with
the intricacies of the car's engine given his expert touch.
He
paints in acrylic and has spent most his working life as a commercial
artist, doing work for Ford and Lotus among others.
Fast
cars are a favourite, but the exhibition which opens in the new
year, features all kinds of vehicles and some boats.
Tony
Matthews - 9th January - 8th February 2004.
Entrance
is free to all exhibitions.
