Matt Midgley Paints Razor‑sharp Geometric Acrylics So Precise They Barely Look Hand‑mad

Matt Midgley is a Seattle‑based visual artist and curator known for precise, hard‑edge geometric acrylic paintings that almost read like digital prints, often built from modular color blocks and gradients.

He shows and sells work in person at Pike Place Market (Seattle) and through local spaces like Hideout Seattle and Statix, and he curates/helps run Gallery Ergo, organizing themed group shows such as “Meow Brow” that spotlight other pop‑surreal and illustrative painters. His pieces like “Clear Skies” emphasize rhythm, symmetry and color interactions over figurative content, positioning him firmly in contemporary geometric abstraction while staying connected to a tight‑knit Northwest art scene.
