Matt Devine
Matt Devine is a self-taught sculptor working with steel, stainless steel, aluminum and bronze. Born and raised in New England, Devine moved to California in 1995, where he learned to weld and fabricate metal while working alongside his father.
The contrasts of nature and industry, light and shadow, chaos and order are themes found throughout Devine's body of work. Paired down organic shapes are formed out of sheet and solid materials and welded together in harmonious accord, often allowing the metal to appear as light as paper.
These contrasts, plus the relationship of patterns and boundaries, address Devine's desire to contain chaos and push out the discord of an information saturated culture.
Walk With Me Exhibition
March 1st - July 6th, 2025
at OMA, Oceanside Museum of Art
Matt Devine’s exhibition Walk with Me at Oceanside Museum of Art transformed the museum into a serene, contemplative environment inspired by the landscapes of Oregon. Through sweeping steel sculptures and graceful forms, Devine created a nature-like experience that invited visitors to slow down, breathe, and reconnect. Rooted in the artist’s own journey of personal healing, the exhibition explored themes of renewal, balance, and presence—offering a timely antidote to the noise of digital life. Read more about this thoughtful museum presentation and Devine’s remarkable sculptural vision.
