Sculptures

Weir received his BFA from the Hite Art Institute at the University of Louisville in 2004. Weir’s classical training, however, evolved through concurrent apprenticeships with a distinguished line of artists and studios including, Paul Fields, Craig Kaviar, Raymond Graf and The Bright Foundry with whom Weir has been a sculptor and employee for over a decade. Weir states he not only prides himself on this diversity and those learned capabilities, but furthermore, sees within them the reciprocal responsibility he has to his work, his audience and his intellect because of them. Weir’s perspective is that of a trained artist and a student of natural history, within this view Matt strives to usher individual inquiry and perspective through the synthesis and presentation of his work, materials, and concepts.
