Matthew Hoffman

Matthew Hoffman is a Midwestern born designer and artist located in Chicago. His work has been exhibited internationally for the last 10 years under a host of aliases and complicated pseudonyms. His recent solo exhibitions at Yes in Cincinnati, and Public Works in Chicago were of the first using his actual name. Hoffman is an active communicator, instigating spirited imagination often via unconventional routes. Hoffman doesn't simply excite for the sake of making a splash; he elicits a public discourse using every opportunity to facilitate a striking visual relationship with contemplative communication. He firmly believes in the act of doing, and vigorous effort needed for positive momentum. "Do the work, have the hope" is his current working philosophy. www.heyitsmatthew.com
