Matthew Hindley (born 1974, Cape Town, South Africa) is a South African painter. He graduated from the Michaelis School of Fine Art, Cape Town in 2002, where he was awarded the ''Michaelis Prize''. As one of the country's most recognized younger painters, Hindley’s intense, poetic and delving artworks have featured in various critical and seminal South African exhibitions. Recent solo presentations have included ''An Everlasting Once'' at Brundyn + Gonsalves, Cape Town (2011) and ''Twilight of the Idols'' at Biksady, Budapest (2013).  Hindley’s exhibition of drawings at David Krut Cape Town coincided with the official launch of the book, ''The Five Magic Pebbles & other stories''. His notable solo painting presentation ''Resurrection (Der Brennende Wald'') was held at Everard Read Cape Town gallery, in October 2015. In addition, he has presented at the world renowned Eli and Edythe Broad Museum, Michigan (2012) and the Kochi Muziris Biennale, India (2012). In 2014 he worked on a series of paintings inspired by the mythological African tales of South African writer Don Mattera, for a book published by Rhodeworks, in Berlin, Germany. In 2015 his artwork was part of the ''imago mundi'', Benetton Collection at the Venice Biennale, and his major public sculpture ''Speak Naturally and Continuously'' was installed above the entrance of the South African National Gallery in Cape Town, South Africa. This artwork was rebuilt in late 2018/ early 2019 and reopened to the general public interaction May 2019.
