Matthew Krishanu was born in Bradford, England in 1980. He graduated from The University of Exeter with a BA (Hons) in Fine Art and English Literature in 2001[1] and completed a master's degree in Fine Art at Central Saint Martins, University College of the Arts London in 2009.[2] His exhibitions include ‘Contemporary British Painting’, Huddersfield Art Gallery (2014), ‘Another Country’, The Nunnery, London (2014),[3] ‘We Were Trying to Make Sense’, 1Shanthiroad Gallery, Bangalore, (2013),[4] ‘In Residence’ (solo exhibition), Parfitt Gallery, London (2010); ‘The Mausoleum of Lost Objects’, Iniva, London (2008).[5]

Krishanu’s essays and articles on art have been published by The Courtauld Gallery, British Council, and a-n Magazine. He has curated collaborative exhibitions for English Heritage and Iniva, and co-curated exhibitions at the RIBA and Whitechapel Gallery.[6] He is a visiting lecturer at Chelsea College of Arts and teaches at Camden Arts Centre and The Courtauld Institute of Art.[7]

In his own paintings, Krishanu creates work from memory and photographs, 're-imagining' events through editing, simplifying and layering.[8] Of his painting he says “My subject matter is often autobiographical, drawing on memories and photographs – particularly of my childhood in Bangladesh. Rather than straight autobiography, I prefer to work with imagery that has open narratives.”[9]
