Matt Foleo is deservedly considered a renaissance man. He is a painter, sculptor, printmaker, metalsmith - silver and gold, photographer, film maker, lapidary (stonecutter), graphic designer, poet and writer.

This award-winning artist has had his work included in major exhibitions in 48 states and a number of countries outside the U.S. In one exhibit - an overview of 50 years of American art - his work was kept company by the works of other great artists including Andrew Wyeth, Willem de Kooning, Julian Schnabel, Ellsworth Kelly, Alex Katz, Roy Lichtenstein, Jennifer Bartlett, Red Grooms, Janet Fish, Susan Rothenberg, Jack Levine and other major names.

Matt was also the creator and founder of the world's largest walk-by public art exhibition called the Phantom Art Gallery and this concept was adopted by cities across North America, including Los Angeles.

One noted art critic and professor of modern art history said Matt is an "impresario of progressive art forms - all art forms." Boris Yeltsin, first Russian President, took a painting by Matt back to Russia when he visited in 1993.

It is important to note that Matt Foleo is extremely understated. One would never guess that he has had such luminaries as Allan Ginsberg, Timothy Leary, William Burroughs, Ted Berrigan and others as friends from days past or that he had racked up so many accomplishments and noteworthy distinctions.

For a starving artist, incredibly Foley is also a major philanthropist, donating one of the largest collections of Southern Plains Native American contemporary art to the Indian Center Museum in Wichita, Kansas.

Matt has a history in the concert business with his involvement in bringing groups like the Police, Talking Heads, the Specials, the Buzzcocks and numerous others in their initial U.S. tours to the Great Plains.
