“Most Folks” will feature 30-40 drawings out of a collection of over 300 created by Marcus Mataga since 2005. A recent graduate of Baylor Law School, Mataga has never exhibited his artwork. During 2012 he posted a drawing a day to Instagram and began getting a lot of attention.
Mataga’s work is largely an exploration of details through inexpensive materials. He draws almost exclusively from photographs, using ballpoint pens and highlighters. Mostly inspired by people, he is more interested in close examination of the subject than the accuracy of the finished piece.
