Matt Small is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Matt Small paints people you might pass on a London bus and actually see, the woman in a headscarf scrolling her phone, the kid in a hoodie with tired eyes. He’s known for turning everyday folks into portraits that demand attention, often spray-painting them big on boarded-up shop fronts or old billboards. His piece Justina (2011) started as a print but feels like a moment frozen in time, her gaze direct, unimpressed, real.

That’s why he fits in Gallery Tiles: tap on Justina and you’ll find a door to art rooted in the streets, where dignity shows up unannounced.
