Over the past few years Matak's artistic practice has taken on a number of approaches to painting, drawing and print.
Major themes that have consistently run through Matak's work have been: the copy and the real, cultural artifacts/icons and the narratives that surround and connect them.
Matak's work tends to be culturally omnivorous, integrating what some people feel is low art (comics, graffiti art and stenciling) with some high art forms (modernist colour field painting, and images of historic and contemporary art).
