Matthew Rose, American (artist) in Paris, spells with scissors.
His works are secrets wrapped in riddles that are visually open and often French-fried.
We'll be crossing each other on the Eurostar today as I head from London to fashion-week-Paris and he speeds in the opposite direction to open his exhibition in London tomorrow. Here's your invite...
SCARED BUT FRESH
An Exhibition of Collages and Unusual Objects from Matthew Rose
Is opening tomorrow 5th October at the Orange Dot Gallery, 54 Tavistock Place, Bloomsbury, London, WC1H
JOIN MATTHEW AND ORANGE DOT FOR THE PRIVATE VIEW, 6pm - 9pm
RSVP ESSENTIAL: danielle@theorangedot.co.uk
Along with the works on display and the exclusive prints, signed exhibition posters will be available to purchase on the night.
The poster can be downloaded from here (a 15 mb high res PDF that can be printed the size of a house, should you want to wallpaper your place with Matthew's work - not a bad idea at that).
Here's a preview to the preview...
... and you can see more of Mr Rose's work here.
SCARED BUT FRESH WILL ALSO BE PART OF THE BLOOMSBURY FESTIVAL which takes place from Saturday 23 October, all day; Sunday 24 October, all day.

Is this where you finally reveal you're really Phillip Roth?
Thanks for the mention. I just discovered I'm also on the Festival and Company website, which shows photos from the literary festival in June. Was I snapped reading? No... I'm, erm, drinking champage in and 18th century hotel particulier, with fellow-blogger, writer and critic, Maitresse... http://tinyurl.com/36ppk7r
