Matthew Conradt
Shelters - Warm Toned Suburban Landscape Collage on Mylar

2012

About the Item

Shelters mixed media on Mylar 45” x 76” 2012 In this piece Conradt creates a more concrete scenario although still slightly uneasy. He splices interior furniture with a very typical midwestern outdoor scene with barren trees. Upon first look it seems as if the scene is natural, through the palette and the clever placement of objects. Though upon further inspection it becomes obvious that the scene is surreal and uneasy. 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.
