EASTPAK GALLERY – a new forum for art
EASTPAK’s original UK Icon Store, located on one of London’s most iconic shopping destinations, No.1 Carnaby Street, is opening its doors this year to the EASTPAK Gallery. Alongside all the various EASTPAK product collections that offer something for everyone, EASTPAK are embarking on a unique platform for artistic talent in the store.
The EASTPAK Gallery, open and free to all, will provide a great opportunity for talented, urban creatives to present and sell their work in a busy, like-minded environment, enabling these artists to reach a much larger audience
EASTPAK are pleased to announce Matt Sewell as the first artist on board. Matt originally hails from County Durham, Northeast England and is now based in London. Matt’s work draws on his rural heritage, fusing fairytale-like narratives, natural geometry, bucolia, psychedelic landscapes, utopian dreams and a symbolic treatment of animals and birds. “I’ve been drawing since as far back as I can remember; I used to swap drawings at school for sweets.” 

Matt has been a professional illustrator and independent artist for over 10 years. He has exhibited in Melbourne, Osaka, Madrid, Barcelona, Berlin and Tokyo and has worked with companies including Range Rover, The Guardian, V Festival, Paul Smith and the BBC.
For the “EASTPAK Gallery”, Matt will be presenting a collection entitled Orbs of the Arboreal.
Matt will be showing a new collection of paintings and installations featuring figurines from his “Charmed from the trees” series of wooden birds. The exhibition is about exploring deep in the forest, psycho energetic artifacts of the undergrowth, new life and will o’ the wisp in the woods.
