Matthew de Kersaint Giraudeau is an artist, writer and musician. He studied Fine Art at Northumbria University, graduating in 2007. He was selected for the Bow Arts Trust Live/Work scheme in 2009 and he recently exhibited at The Centre for Recent Drawing. Giraudeau’s ongoing Psychosis Drawing Series parallel drawing and altered mental states. They focus on repetitive mark making as a destructive mental process as repetitive behaviour can be considered a symptom of a psychotic disorder. The drawings are made on selected newsprint images. The mark making becomes an act of effacement and slander.
