Matt Dixon - pin-up artist

[The Pin-up Files]

The Matt Dixon gallery at the The Pin-up Files has just gone live!

British artist Matt Dixon's women have a wonderful tendency to be either seductively gruesome, deadly dangerous or seriously strange. We just know you are going to enjoy this gallery which goes live with 28 works.

Says Matt:

"What I find most attractive about pin-ups is not the graceful curve of a well painted thigh or the rosy bloom on the cheek of a pretty face. Of course these things have appeal, but what really draws me into a pin-up image is a girl with attitude and confidence. That cheeky glint in the eye means so much more if there's a sense that the girl in the painting is self-aware and comfortable with the sometimes rather unlikely situations we artists choose to put them in. I like to know that she's in on the joke, and enjoying it!"

When you see more of Matt's work at The Pin-up Files and on his own website (where you can buy prints and other delights), you'll readily appreciated his dark sense of humour. His pin-ups are very, very cool (and hot) but some of these works are absolutely hilarious, often in a very macabre way.

Matt currently works freelance providing illustration and concept design for print and digital media. Recent clients include Electronic Arts, Hodder Children's Books, Sony Online Entertainment, Macmillan, Future Publishing and Blizzard Entertainment.
