Raised on the eroding banks of Rolla Creek, as a fifth generation farmer who lives in the South Peace, Karl Mattson is a self-taught, multi-media artist. Karl’s life has been fuelled by his compulsion to create and speak through art, which has always played a central role in his life. Karl’s current explorations include large metal sculpture and mixed media, and in particular, scavenging scraps and materials that surround his farm and community, an area currently being enveloped by the oil and gas industry. In using the creative process, Karl has been able to apply his artistic talent to protest against the environmental issues that plague his farm, his community, and his personal psyche.
