Regardless of medium, his collective creative output mercilessly taps the same singular vein of darkly humorous psychosexual horror tableaux. <img width="2850" height="3127" width_o="2850" height_o="3127" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c053d199dd94af6d6e8622666eb2aa1c20563ddb5704b967b74b79e98aebaba3/Killer-copy.jpg" data-mid="226525435" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c053d199dd94af6d6e8622666eb2aa1c20563ddb5704b967b74b79e98aebaba3/Killer-copy.jpg" /> “SHOWER”&nbsp; FEBRUARY 2025 Minter’s visual work employs the tropes of premium, intricately-detailed 70s international fetish sleaze and the graceless jacket art of 80s punk rock and metal albums, but subtly and deliberately reconfigures and transmutes them to inflict upon the viewer the maximum of cognitive dissonance, nauseated by his or her arousal (and, naturally the reciprocal of that). Figures loitering too near the uncanny valley to be dismissed as comic book caricatures are rendered in stark monochrome (as if to be forever immortalized in print on a bootleg t-shirt given as a consolation prize to a loser of the milk jug game at the county fair) in various states of bodily distress and ecstasy one may commonly find in a direct-to-VHS American splatter film. <img width="4575" height="5040" width_o="4575" height_o="5040" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/59ef6e4ef83d8a3660b6c3a7337549c8786aed9c74ee6df1dbdd95d4438e039e/Torn-copy.jpg" data-mid="218424734" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/59ef6e4ef83d8a3660b6c3a7337549c8786aed9c74ee6df1dbdd95d4438e039e/Torn-copy.jpg" /> “WITCH’S BODY”&nbsp; SEPTEMBER 2024 In each image, the iconography of erotica and horror are subverted in wonderful and confounding ways.&nbsp; Horror is indeed too weak and limiting a term for this work; what Minter plies, instead, is terror. —Written by Trevor Tremaine <img width="2475" height="3675" width_o="2475" height_o="3675" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b2a274b8fca9652a0801ec479ac893683f6948ce0f29770bce3c4ff8366cf459/Tears-for-Fears-copy.jpg" data-mid="216324588" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b2a274b8fca9652a0801ec479ac893683f6948ce0f29770bce3c4ff8366cf459/Tears-for-Fears-copy.jpg" /> “JAIL EYES”&nbsp;

What seems like shock value does have a value beyond shock. He presents images, narratives within the images, that beg the viewer to ask what is happening here, what is going on within the surfaces, and why. <img width="2496" height="2479" width_o="2496" height_o="2479" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/13709f644e9a94f66fa24a8e585426b376aa1c8ae6c7205ff9aeb7e29e9e375d/Portfolio-1.jpg" data-mid="57228946" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/13709f644e9a94f66fa24a8e585426b376aa1c8ae6c7205ff9aeb7e29e9e375d/Portfolio-1.jpg" /> “FANTOMAS AND A BODY” &nbsp;MARCH 2018 If we pull the camera back from the framing of the image in the art and see ourselves looking at it, we can ask these questions, shirk from them, or maybe look in the mirror, adjust our makeup and continue to delude ourselves or not that we, the viewers are not, in fact, the perpetrators, the monsters. <img width="2490" height="2489" width_o="2490" height_o="2489" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9bc6b66e322c1996493ac245d8deecd331b259e68a93ef50f6c3db7ba29a79a4/Portolio-10.jpg" data-mid="57733307" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9bc6b66e322c1996493ac245d8deecd331b259e68a93ef50f6c3db7ba29a79a4/Portolio-10.jpg" /> “FINDING YOUR FRIENDS” &nbsp;SEPTEMBER 2017 There is no repression or oppression at work in Minter’s art, but rather depictions of the violent exploding of repression or oppression, in fact, a manner of going all the way in to come out the other side, free from bondage, what William Blake called the “mind-forg’d manacles.” Matt Minter is asking us to see clearly before us our own demons, our own nightmares, our own traumas, our own shadow selves, and we must question whether we really are the agents or the victims of whom or what we might think ourselves to be. To put it country simple: he is asking us to see ourselves. &nbsp;—Written by J.T.

Bringing demented and transgressive artwork to life since the mid 90s, he cemented his reputation for twisting the screw in 1998 when co-founding Hexose, one of Lexington’s first and most notorious noise bands. Performances divided crowds into camps of tolerance and hate. Following the inevitable demise of Hexose, Minter continued working in audio terror with Hair Police. Appearing on tapes, EPs, and the band’s first full length record, "Blow Out Your a Blood," his time with the band culminated in a two month tour of the entire US. <img width="2175" height="2175" width_o="2175" height_o="2175" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/70b9373c9bd6ad10b723ee9d782711a1f42bfe95e12a8d8bf6bca6c36fcdca5d/Scalpless-Caress-Front.jpg" data-mid="7362592" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/70b9373c9bd6ad10b723ee9d782711a1f42bfe95e12a8d8bf6bca6c36fcdca5d/Scalpless-Caress-Front.jpg" /> “SCALPLESS CARESS” &nbsp;MARCH 2013 Being the type of guy who needs to do his own thing, it was only a matter of time before Minter birthed one of the most horrifying bands in the underground: Wretched Worst. Multiple EPs, tapes, a full length record and lots of self-slashing have been left in its wake--bloodstains on stages and basement floors throughout the US provide proof. <img width="3600" height="3600" width_o="3600" height_o="3600" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8cebc345475ec89c524ff142f061243203216687850787d46873f795d91b9ad8/Guilty-Feelings-2.jpg" data-mid="7362554" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/8cebc345475ec89c524ff142f061243203216687850787d46873f795d91b9ad8/Guilty-Feelings-2.jpg" /> “NEST” &nbsp;FEBRUARY 2013 Most striking of all is Minter's visual art. 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 it's gruesome and earnest glory. &nbsp;—Written by Mike Connelly <img width="3600" height="3600" width_o="3600" height_o="3600" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b369ee160ce9eaee4ddbba000f0ef5acc6ad10666ea8b5be1db583afe9f72a93/liz-4.jpg" data-mid="7362517" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b369ee160ce9eaee4ddbba000f0ef5acc6ad10666ea8b5be1db583afe9f72a93/liz-4.jpg" />“NOT FUTURE.

In my work, there is an ongoing exploration into both physical and psychological horror. Most often, my body of work is rendered in monochrome with the intent to burn images into the viewers’ psyche. Tone is deliberately obscured in order to convey a disconcerting and paradoxical mix of arousal and revulsion, in an attempt to place the viewer in a dream state. Borderlines, similar to what one sees in a comic book, are integrated with the image; they are misplaced and misaligned, fracturing the image like a broken mirror, reflecting a warped and alien reality. My portfolio consists of three-by-three feet acrylic paintings, digital collages and illustrations of various size, and examples of animated and music video. Throughout you’ll find consistent strains of subject matter: knives, organ anatomy, and sadomasochistic practice. My portrayal of knives and the resulting anatomical violence stem from a fascination with horror films and medical photography. An interpretation of these elements could be an unwelcome change brought into one’s life, bringing about circumstances that conclude in anxiety over an uncertain existence. Incorporating sadomasochism evolved from an appreciation of vintage counterculture publications that spolighted the lifestyle. My translation of S&amp;M culture, when examined, builds an uneasy balance between pain and pleasure.
