Matthew Conradt
Form and Matter - Contemporary Abstract Photo Transfer Landscape on Mylar

2016

About the Item

Matthew Conradt "Form and Matter" mixed media on Mylar 17" x 24" 2016 This item is not framed This contemporary abstract collage and photo transfer has an otherworldly quality to it. The architecture of the inside of a suburban home becomes displaced in a field of grass. The earth tones become muted behind the sheet of mylar, creating a sort of dream-like state, further pushing the idea of an ethereal landscape. Matthew Conradt's recent work is interested in the underlying structures in images that reveal the different social realities that we are all apart of. Conradt appropriates images and alters them, interrupting the picture plane or obliterating the image entirely, making the narrative more difficult to penetrate. The result is paradoxically inviting and unnerving vignettes that call to mind the artifice of the imagery we encounter daily, creating an unsettling commentary about the various narratives that we consume. Matthew Conradt’s mixed media works investigate the current disarray of the American Dream. Growing up in the mid-western rust belt, Conradt forages for images in newspapers and magazines that are both familiar and alien to his experience. Decadent interiors, wood paneling from trailer homes and wide-open, desolate landscapes become portents and signifiers of the substantial socio-economic and cultural differences that currently exist in the United States. With collages that meld and blend into a dream-like state of America past and present, we see a transition of American culture from within eras and classes mashed up like a palimpsest of conflicted experiences.
