Mathew Gibson was born in west London in 1962. For ten years (1990-2000), he made objects and temporary installations that were exhibited all over Europe. Since then he has dedicated his practice to making enigmatic, small egg tempera paintings: the first collection of these works were exhibited by England & Co in 2005, followed five years later by a second collection exhibited in 2010.

Many of Gibson's works are miniature depictions of potential installations, or explore imaginary architectural spaces; others include men in suits discussing fantastical building projects.
