Matt Minter

Matt Minter is a Lexington, KY-based countercultural polymath known for music projects, illustration work, and video production. Regardless of the medium, Minter's collective creative output mercilessly taps the same singular vein of darkly humorous psychosexual horror tableaux. Having worked with mutilated figures for decades, his images have a stark surrealism that invokes an immediate visceral response. Heralding the aesthetics of films found on VHS, there are seeming nods to 80's gems such as Savage Streets and Nightmare. Muck, sensuality, and gore. Brutal derangement, the wrong end of knives. Lingerie and vice, death, vitality, libido. A wonder to behold in all its gruesome and earnest glory.
