Matt Overend is an artist who has lived and worked in the Lowcountry of South Carolina for the past thirty years. His work runs the gamut from landscape oil paintings to plaster and chicken-wire nude sculptures. Most recently he has been working on a series of foil "paintings" made by sketching a still life or nude and then overlaying hand-cut strips of colored foil, essentially painting the work with foil. Difficult to truly appreciate on a computer, they are incredibly dimensional and alive in person.

Matt's work of late has been primarly focused on the female nude in many forms - as a series of "Goddess" paintings (Eve, Lilith, Venus, Pandora, etc.), as a "gesture" series - the study of women's bodies posed in space; as an entirely different medium of foil paintings of the above subjects; and as wire and plaster sculptures, which rise up from their wooden bases, exist briefly, and then fade back into themselves and our own imaginings.

For a peek inside THE DINNER PARTY, please see below:



Lainie Silver isn’t jealous. Regardless of what her nagging mother and overpaid therapist might say. So what if her oldest friend-turned-frenemy, Miya, is a celebrity make-up artist with endless good press, a loft in Tribeca, and impossibly shiny hair? So what if Lainie is stuck in professional purgatory and a disastrous (albeit disease-free) dating life? Jealousy definitely isn’t why Lainie sleeps with Miya’s husband after hosting a dinner party of overcooked sea bass and tension sliced extra thick. Especially since Lainie can’t even stand Jake. Especially after eight minutes of mediocre sex. THE DINNER PARTY tells the story of Lainie’s resolve to stash her secret, wangle a new career, and land a man of her own without ever having to set the table again.

Against the backdrop of occasional bad decisions (alas: been there, slept with that), with guilty angst and acerbic wit as her must-have accessories, Lainie searches for her version of happiness—preferably six-feet tall with most of its hair. But is finding love enough to keep a marriage, a friendship, and Lainie’s sanity intact?

Perfect for poolside reading or a dreary end-of day commute, THE DINNER PARTY won't disappoint...
