According to Sun, he has loved drawing since childhood. He says that he found reproducing images that interested him on paper or canvas endlessly fascinating. The ten pieces he is presenting in the Art Gallery at Wilder in April 2022 are oil paintings he worked on over the last two years.

“I strive to discover and capture what is hidden, emphasizing the unspoken over verisimilitude. This tendency is from my years growing up in China where much is hinted at, but rarely spoken aloud. These experiences sharpened my awareness of the invisible burdens born by people everywhere,” said Sun.

“Transience – Paintings of Disquiet and Uncertainly” is an exhibit about Sun’s ideas and experiences while living through the pandemic. This surely is a topic many people can relate to. His work is in collections in the US, Canada, UK, and China and has been selected for exhibitions in San Francisco, New York, and Seattle. To learn more about his work visit www.matthewfelixsun.com or follow him on Instagram @matthewfelixsun.

The exhibit runs April 2 through 30 and is in-person on the reception date but is otherwise accessible by appointment with Curator Aniston Breslin. Contact her at wildergallery@lamorindaarts.org.
