Mat Maitland is a visual artist and creative director based in London. His distinctive surrealist-pop collages and films have been commissioned by a wide range of clients including Hermès, Louis Vuitton, Kenzo, Bulgari, Emporio Armani, Tate Gallery, Sotheby’s, MAC Cosmetics, Nike and Printemps Paris.
His images have been featured in various magazines including Interview, Self Service, Dazed Beauty, V, King Kong, Le Monde, Harpers Bazaar, Document, Vogue Japan, Paper and W.
The artistic heir to Warholian tradition, recalibrated in the digital age, Mat’s work
blurs the boundary between high and low culture. His collages are pop, playful,
cerebral and surreal. They’re steeped in nostalgia in as much as they reference
future worlds, as witty commentaries on contemporary culture.
(Dazed Beauty)
Maitland’s digital renderings make the eyes skip and the mind race with
their unusual juxtapositions, as he pits the futuristic against the nostalgic and the
phantasmagorical against the familiar. Unusually, a quiet cerebral quality sits
comfortably alongside palpable accents of pulp melodrama.
