Goldfish Drawing

Description

Matthew Bianchi (b. 1992) is an artist with Project Onward, a Chicago nonprofit organization that seeks to promote art as a powerful tool for understanding and valuing the real and potential contributions of our national population with disabilities. Bianchi draws with pen and ink, and paints with watercolor. His body of work is strongly influenced by children’s literature and television, from classics such as Charlotte’s Web to more contemporary subjects, as well as children’s narratives of his own creation. Characters from animated films populate Bianchi’s artwork, but not as mere copies; they take on a life of their own and interact with characters of his own invention. Directly responding to his great personal interest in history, Bianchi often intermingles these subjects with histories of the American railroad, and World Wars I and II.
