Alumni Video Stories | Matthew O’Reilly

Speaking truth through satire 

Meet our alumni and learn how their studies at AUArts have influenced their career paths and how they are helping shape the world of art, craft and design. AUArts Alumni Video Stories is a video series sharing life after university.

Matthew O’Reilly (MFA ’20, Craft Media) is a Canadian artist interested in the complexity of a person, catalyzing conversation and figurative ceramics. He completed his MFA at AUArts, where he advanced a visual vocabulary wielding the grotesque and satire in tandem with public statuary. 

In this video, he talks about the high calibre of the faculty, the mentorship he received and the business skills he learned along the way.
