Matt Loughlin
A Voice in the Landscape

Andelli Art are proud to present Matt Loughlin’s first solo exhibition A Voice in the Landscape, where he confronts some of life’s more existential questions. Through original, hand-carved texts and iconography, made in a variety of materials, Matt reflects on what it means to live a ‘good life’ and strives to find humour, empathy and common ground with all creatures.

Matt Loughlin is a traditionally-trained letter-cutter and stone carver. Using time-honoured tools and techniques, he creates fine art sculpture, as well as bespoke memorials by commission.

Matt’s goal as an artist and craftsperson is to bring an impactful, contemporary voice to the traditional crafts he practices. He draws inspiration from a wide variety of sources, ranging from historical monuments and folk art to traditional calligraphy and modern art.

Through his work, Matt aims to inspire people to pause, reflect, and appreciate life in all its wonder, drama and complexity.

There is a road closure and subsequent diversion that may affect your journey to Andelli Art. Driving southbound, The Bath Road B3139 is closed (at the junction with B3135) and you will likely be diverted either towards the Old Frome Road, or into Wells along the Bristol Road A39. Northbound (from Wells) does have signs stating ‘Road ahead closed’ but ignore this, as it will not affect your journey to the gallery.
