Matt Curtius is an artist, illustrator and educator whose creative practice is a collaborative endeavor split with his partner, Gina Triplett.

Their fine art has been exhibited widely, including at the National Museum of China, Delaware Art Museum, Woodmere Art Museum, and galleries in New York, Los Angeles and elsewhere.

Their paintings are an artifact of their dialogue in the studio, working out ideas as they pass canvasses back and forth, reacting to each other’s contributions. These discussions have varied over time, but often return to themes of art historical comparisons, connections between the natural and synthetic worlds, and the specific dynamic of two people coming together within a piece of singular artistic output.

When they take on illustration projects, the partners most often take their cues from the couple’s independent work, with themes that use natural subjects in both literal and symbolic manners. These illustrations have graced everything from snowboards to murals, children’s books to housewares. They have collaborated with clients that include: Whole Foods, Macy's, Urban Outfitters, Comcast, Scholastic, Knopf, MIT Press, The New York Times, and many others. Their work has been chronicled in several books on illustration, including Drawn to Type: Lettering for Illustrators by Marty Blake and 50 Years of Illustration by Laurence Zeegan and Caroline Roberts.
