October 20th, 2023–April 7th 2024

From 20 October 2023 until 7 April 2024, Mat’s new exhibition Petrichor comes to the Gallery of Botanical Art at Kew Gardens. Drawing on an array of evocative imagery from the natural world, Petrichor will encompass sculptural installations, using a variety of pioneering techniques to explore the relationship between the natural world, art history, and how representations of nature in art can impact the way in which we see the world around us.

Amongst the works on display will be two UK premieres; Even to the End, a video installation inspired by the innovation of the Wardian Case, and Alluvion, a series of six new AI artworks, as well as the global gallery premiere of Heterosis.
