From Artrinity:
“Lotus Eater, the second solo exhibition for Mathis in Dallas, steps away from the comfortable accomplishments of years passed and dives deep into the spontaneity of abstract expressionism. In this exhibition, he considers the opulence of grandeur and the luxury of indulging heavy brushwork strokes on oversized recycled canvases using acrylic, ink, latex and spray paint.
As an outsider artist, this series of paintings punctuate Mathis’ skills forward, provoking a provocative yet instinctive sense of unashamed emotional intelligence. With lashings of paint, bright colors peek and protrude through the extravagant darkness, formulating a sense of lightness from despair. Oversized, over-stroked, and beautifully indulgent, the work, Lotus Eater, symbolizes the exhibition, capturing a dichotomy of extravagance and pleasure without consideration for pragmatic purpose. “
