Mat Cahill’s drawings give life to transient moments. His work frequently transforms identity into something anonymous, capturing “the disposable and forgettable moments of strangers partaking in mundane tasks.” And yet his application of color and groupings of form are anything but forgettable, as his painstakingly crafted pen & ink drawings engage the viewer, bringing them ever closer to study the uniqueness of each figure. His smaller works are often studies for his larger pieces, which may take anywhere between 300 and 400 hours to create.
