One of Paint Jamaica artists, Matthew McCarthy, will be heading over to Germany & Spain this summer!
You’ve seen his instantly recognizable work in the form of murals… whether on Fleet Street – as part of the Paint Jamaica project- or around town in Kingston… but you’ve probably also seen his art pop up in the universe of Reggae music working alongside artists such as Chronixx, Dre Island, Raging Fyah, Hempress Sativa… to name just a few.
Matthew is an artist/muralist and illustrator with a fascination for Jamaican street signs, old school dancehall illustrations and the global street arts movement. Over the years, he has developed a distinct style of work- often containing messages hinting to issues that are powerful and highly pertinent in Jamaican society. He has been involved in a number of important art movements on the island with the aim of “looking at issues as well as the strengths of how we connect in our social spaces. I use our nation language / thoughts coupled with paint as my tools, against public walls. My aim is to help issue a new pair of eyes for those lacking in ‘eye-deals’ ”
This summer, Matthew McCarthy will be flying out to Europe as part of the UP “United Purpose” festival and will be engaged in exciting creative projects.

- Millerntor Gallery- Germany
