An Artist’s Double Life
Tuesday, April 22 2008
by Frank Stasio and Katie Macpherson
"Wine Thirty," by Matt Lively. ADAM CAVE FINE ART
Matt Lively is a painter from Richmond. His work is iconic and whimsical,
full of things like bumblebees riding bicycles and brightly colored dresses
swaying in the breeze. Then there’s Matthew Lively. He's also a painter, but
his work is darker, cynical and slightly creepy. But this isn’t a segment about
two artists with eerily similar names. Matt and Matthew occupy the same person…
and the same mind. Although some might think this signals some sort of
personality disorder, Matt disagrees--this is just his way of making a living. Matt (and Matthew's) work is on display at Adam Cave Fine Art in Raleigh until April 29th.
