A self taught painter he moved to Cornwall in 1960 where he has lived ever since except for a couple of years in Australia and a year in France during the mid-seventies.
'I paint the inner mystic being. At first my vehicle was the local landscape then I moved on to the interplay between landscape and the inner room through windows. Colour has always been important - as time passed it becomes brighter and more subtle’

Matthew Lanyon's latest exhibition at Penzance's Rainyday Gallery reflects more than a painter's hard work and his hinterland of great Cornish Art and artists. Deep personal loss underwrites these works. It has resulted in a collection that in many ways celebrates as well as grieves. Lanyon has come through, with his strength as a painter and as a human being intact.
As with all landscape artists a sense of place and also of universality invests Matthew Lanyon's work. His su jects in this exhibition take us between Slovakia and Cornwall, but personal circumstances, over the past year especially, have rooted him at his home in West Penwith in the parish of Ludgvan, facing East, South,West, across a great corner of Mount's Bay to outer Cornwall.
For a long time Lanyon has been absorbed by the sun's daily jaunt, especially it's rising.The symbolism may be obvious; rebirth, light, hope; these are strong flails against the gathering darkness.Yet the night itself in-vests the theme of this exhibition with starry meta- phors, and also with the hard science behind the glitter.
Whenever he could, whenever the sky was clear, from his eyrie above Ludgvan, Lanyon has watched for some time, the sun rise, and has tracked the sun's edging across the eastern horizon, with the high swell of Carnmenellis Hill at its fulcrum.Thus, the sun and its power to heal and regenerate is the main guest at this feast of paintings.They range from the handy-sized Plein Air Sunriseto the huge, exuberant, final statement of Journey to the Stars.
There are 'classical' Matthew Lanyon pieces here also; Highground, Eurydice, Kynance, Madonna, all of them bursting with his signature marks of vibrant colour and imagery.And finally there are gentle, remarkable works, such as the The Alphabet and Field Mouse gets Owl, literal pieces that tell, without sentimentality, a story of the shared human condition and bring to some kind of regenerative, memorable, powerful conclusion a certain time in this remarkable artist's life.
