Matthew Conradt
Defaced - Cool Toned Urban Factory Industrial Photo Transfer on Mylar

2014

About the Item

matthew Conradt "Defaced" mixed media on Mylar 29” x 40” 2014 This item is not framed In this piece Conradt uses a different and more industrial interior, as opposed to the friendly suburban home. This showcases the downfall of American industries, which so often happens right outside of large cities. He cuts up strips from the original photo and shifts them out of order to create a "glitch" in the piece. By doing this it almost makes it seem like the scene is "loading" into reality, or perhaps becoming the new reality. Matthew Conradt’s mixed media and photo transfer 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. Matthew Conradt received his Masters in Fine Art from Pratt Institute in 2008. Later that year Conradt was an Artist-In- Residence at the Cooper Union School of Art and was a part of the Artist-In-The-Marketplace Biennial at the Bronx Museum of Art in 2012. He was also featured as a solo presentation at Volta Art Fair in 2014. His work has been widely exhibited in the US and abroad and has been placed in significant US and European collections. He has been featured in numerous publications and art blogs such as the New York Times. Matthew currently lives and works in Brooklyn.
