About the Item

Matthew Marcot is an American, self-taught artist specializing in Abstract and Neo-Expressionism, and primary mediums are semiotics and collage. An underlying theme in Marcot’s work is giving visual expression to unseen ritualistic and cosmic forces - both benign and menacing - that both underlie and govern modern civilization. This was a facility of ancient art forms based on superstition and religiosity, such as in African sculpture, religious manuscripts, and cave drawings, that Marcot brings to contemporary life. Marcot’s art is fueled by his desire to explore the essence of what it means to be human in an increasingly mechanized and disassociated world. Through Marcot's embrace of primal expression, such as his own brand of hieroglyphic-like calligraphy, biomorphic semiotics, and austere geometric portraiture, he brings the human being back to their roots. Marcot works with materials such as charcoal, cut-up paper, found materials, and acrylic paint in an austere, intentional fashion to emphasize the necessity to rediscover the primal, unbridled spirit of the human being, which seems to him endangered by the impersonality of advancing technologies.

  • "Man Wearing Crown in Water", acrylic, paper, myth, loss, humanity, surrealist
    Located in Toronto, Ontario
    "Man Wearing Crown in Water" is an acrylic paint and mixed media on paper, by Brooklyn, New York artist Dale Williams. It measures 50" high by 38" wide. This artwork is part of a new ongoing series called "Humans Without Warning". Typical of the artist's practice, it is mythic and humanitarian all at once, striking several political and spiritual notes as well. From Dale Williams – "The figures of Humans Without Warning arrive with little forethought. They soon reveal their troubled and antic states of being. They began at the start of the COVID pandemic and explore shared vulnerabilities in a time of political and social disunity. If I am mindful of any of their attributes as I work on them, it is surely how the figures mirror the losses many of us have experienced over the past two years, and the accompanying trudge which often finds us stumbling into numbness." From George Del Barrio (2018), Vanderbilt Republic, Brooklyn NY: "Williams acknowledges a large range of influences on his vision: the moral lessons embodied in the works of 17th century engraver Jacques Lagniet, the darkling phantasms and tragic reportage of Goya’s Caprichos and Disasters of War, and the personal mythologizing of the late paintings of Philip Guston. Such works echo throughout Williams social surrealist re-visioning." Dale Williams has exhibited in the New York City area for over 25 years. He is a 2014 recipient of a Fellowship in Printmaking/Drawing/Book Arts from the New York Foundation for the Arts. His recent one-person show, “America Now Suite,” which re-visioned American history in service of the civic imagination, was held at Gowanus Loft, Brooklyn in October 2018. A selection of portraits from “America Now Suite” was included in the BRIC Biennial, Winter/Spring 2019. His portrait of Osip Mandelstam...
