Matthew Cheale is a writer and editor based in London.

His writing has appeared in Artforum, Art Monthly, Apollo, Burlington Contemporary, Texte zur Kunst, The Art Newspaper, The Burlington Magazine, Art History, and elsewhere. Matthew has previosuly held editiorial positions at the Burlington Magazine and the Frank Bowling Studio, London, and has worked with international galleries such as Hauser & Wirth and Maximillian William.

He is a PhD candidate in the History of Art department at The Courtauld Institute of Art, funded by CHASE. Focused on work by Paul Thek, John Outterbridge, and Nicola L., his doctoral research examines how their practices upend and expose extant masculinist and heteronormative historiographies of post-war American sculpture, both demanding and producing a revision of sixties sculpture through the lens of racial inequality, feminism and queer studies.

He is a member of the British Art Network.
