Freeport, Bahamas - Artist and actor Matthew Wildgoose, will be presenting his
international travel exhibition, which was first exhibited in Atlanta, Georgia
“DREAM FACE” on August 26th, 2015. The exhibition will open in
Freeport on Saturday, September 26th, 2015 at The Grand Gallery, at 7pm.
The exhibition represents Wildgoose’s experience as a
professional actor. Exclusive pieces reflect scenes and faces that have
influenced the artist throughout his acting career, which includes more than 30
productions. "This year’s theme compliments Atlanta because people
acknowledge this town as Black Hollywood. I believe it’s a logical progression
for me as an artist/actor to mount an exhibition that is inspired by the
entertainment industry. The things that people of the world want to accomplish
and what they view as success, whether it’s a career or past time, you can find
it in this year’s pieces,’’ said Wildgoose. Matthew describes his style as a
bridge between surrealism and realism which culminates with powerful portraits
that is bursting with character.
Currently, Wildgoose’s art is featured in multiple high end
locations throughout the Bahamas. His work is a part of two of the largest art
collections in his country, The “Dawn Davies Art Collection” and The D’Agular’s
Art Foundation. Wildgoose’s art is also showcased on exterior wall murals at
The Bahamas Humane Society in New Providence, Bahamas and The Junkanoo Museum
in Grand Bahama, Bahamas. In addition, his artwork was also featured in The
Atlanta Artist Center in Atlanta, Georgia.
Wildgoose’s passion for acting, art and music fuels his work
and his goal is to create pieces that drive conversations across diverse
cultures. This year’s body of work is intended to help viewers relive emotions
evoked from iconic actors/actresses throughout cinema history. “Matthew has a
powerful artistic eye and keen ability to see through to the core of the human
soul and effortlessly translate those images on canvas,” said Lee B. Calender,
(L.R.S.M. Vocal Coach, Speech Coach, and Piano Coach).
Along with
mounting this year’s exhibition, Wildgoose plans on giving back to Dreams &
Vision International Organization founded by fellow Bahamian Linville Johnson
whose aim is to help unprivileged children throughout the Caribbean and the
state of Florida. “I realize I possess multiple gifts and I feel like it’s my
responsibility to inspire the dreamers. This isn’t something that I developed
on my own; it's God’s work that I am a vessel of and this passion for art and
expression must continue for generations after me,” said Wildgoose.
The Grand Gallery cordially invites all locals, visitors,
art enthusiast and art collectors to join us for the Grand Bahama opening reception

Johnston, TV/Film Producer who also manages Wildgoose. Co-curator is Michele
Pizer of Pizer Fine Art. The exhibited will remain mounted for viewing and
purchasing until October 10th,
