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. Pared-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 relationships of patterns and boundaries, address Devine’s desire to contain chaos and push out the discord of an information-saturated culture. Since becoming a full-time artist in 2004, Devine has developed his signature sculpture style while building his fine art career. Devine’s sculpture is shown with highly regarded contemporary art galleries across North America, Asia, and Europe. His works can be found in a myriad of private, corporate, and public art collections on five continents. Devine currently works and resides with his wife and daughter on their ranch outside Portland, Oregon. SELECTED EXHIBITIONS 2025Oceanside Museum of Art, Walk with Me, solo show,Oceanside, CA (forthcoming) 2024Art Miami with Stephanie Breitbard Fine Arts, Miami Beach, FLJulie Nester Gallery, two person show, Park City, UTLaura Rathe, Manmade, two person show, Houston, TX 2023Art Miami with Stephanie Breitbard Fine Arts, Miami Beach, FLDiehl Gallery, Group show, Jackson, WYLaura Rathe, Uncommon Ground, Houston, TX 2022Laura Rathe,Chroma, Dallas, TXLaura Rathe, Crush, Udo Noger, Matt Devine and Ian Rayer-Smith, Houston, TXDiehl Gallery, Western Skies, Jackson, WYSamuel Owen, Group show, Boston, MACafmeyer Gallery, Organized Chaos, Knokke-Heist, Belgium 2021Laura Rathe Fine Art, The Little Things, Dallas, TXJulie Nester Gallery, Nature and Light, Park City, UT 2020Laura Rathe Fine Art, Breaking Bad, Houston, TXJulie Nester Gallery, two person show, Park City, UT 2019JoAnne Artman Gallery, Lineage: Matt Devine, Anthony Hunter & Adriana Oliver, New York, NYLaura Rathe Fine Art, Beyond Boundaries: Matt Devine & Nina Tichava, Dallas, TXCafmeyer Gallery, two person show, Knokke-Heist, BelgiumBelvedere Art Space, Group show, Beirut, LebanonKostuik Gallery, Summer group show, Vancouver, CanadaJoAnne Artman Gallery, Flirting with Abstraction: Matt Devine and Anna Kinkade, Laguna Beach, CALaura Rathe Fine Art, Matt Devine and Tony Magar, Houston, TXLanoue Gallery, The Estate of Dirk de Bruycker with Matt Devine, Boston, MA 2018Red Sea Gallery, Convergent Evolution, SingaporeSimon Breitbard Fine Arts, In Depth, San Francisco, CACafmeyer Gallery, Group show, Knokke-Heist, BelgiumDiehl Gallery, Group show, Jackson, WYDTR Modern, Group show, Boston, MA 2017Jennifer Kostuik Gallery, Matt Devine and David Burdeny, Vancouver, BC, CanadaCafmeyer Gallery, Matt Devine and Dorit Levinstein, Knokke-Heist, Belgium 2016Laura Rathe Fine Art, Group show, Dallas, TXLaura Rathe Fine Art, Matt Devine and Greg Miller, Houston, TXJoAnne Artman Gallery, Matt Devine and Jane Maxwell, Laguna Beach, CAJennifer Kostuik Gallery, Construct, Vancouver, BC, Canada 2015DTR Modern, Solo show, Washington, D.C.Laura Rathe Fine Art, Undone, Matt Devine and James Verbicky, Houston, TXStephanie Breitbard Fine Art, Group show, San Francisco, CADTR Modern, Matt Devine and Robert Mars, Boston, MALaura Rathe Fine Art, Double Vision group show, Dallas, TX 2014Laura Rathe Fine Art, Group shows, Dallas and Houston, TXJennifer Kostuik Gallery, California, Matt Devine and Alex Couwenberg, Vancouver, BC, CanadaGalerie d’Orsay, Matt Devine and Richard Roblin, Boston, MAMadison Gallery, Between the Lines, Matt Devine and Jeff Kahm, La Jolla, CA 2013Cheryl Hazan Contemporary Art, Puz-zle, Group show, New York, NYLaura Rathe Fine Art, Group shows, Dallas and Houston, TXOnessimo Fine Art, The Innovators group show, West Palm Beach, FLRussell Collection, Confluence, Matt Devine and Michael Kessler, Austin, TXCheryl Hazan Contemporary Art, On the Edge group show, New York, NY 2007-2012Sculpturesite, Nature Abstracted group show, Sonoma, CACheryl Hazan Contemporary Art, FLUX, Group show, New York, NYGalerie d’Orsay, Luc Leestemaker and Matt Devine, Boston, MAMadison Gallery, Fresh Blood, Matt Devine, James Verbicky and William Goodman, La Jolla, CASusan Street Gallery, Encinitas, CA
