Matthew Evans is an Atlanta-based painter whose work reflects the distortions found in everyday reflections.

“My work kind of spans a wide range of topics,” he says, “but one of the primary visual themes that I deal with is distortions — like heat waves or weird reflections [in car windows], the kind of things you see every day.”

As of late, he’s been experimenting with 3D modeling and 360-degree photos of environments, trying to understand what radical shifts in perspective can inspire in himself and his viewers.
