About the Item

Please send zip code for best shipping/delivery costs and timeline -- I will work with you to get you the best price. Mat Tomezko's "Price" series of mixed media paintings are constructed from periodicals, circulars, acrylic, asphalt, and coal on panel. Tomezsko's work records patterns of consumption and their effects, and shows how a wide breadth of issues are interrelated. Circulars are distributed weekly and are often seen strewn about the street. Asphalt makes up our physical surroundings and coal powers our daily lives. The materials are visually and conceptually linked as forces of both creation and destruction. This painting is signed and dated on the back. Exhibited: In A Perfect World: Optimism in an Age of Anxiety October 12 through November 20, 2020 Ringel Gallery, Stewart Center, Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN Tomezsko is an artist from Philadelphia who creates abstract paintings, public art installations, and community art projects based around participation and everyday visual language. His approach to composition is informed by mid-century formalism and conceptualism. His work was recognized by the 2017 Americans for the Arts Public Art Network Year in Review for outstanding public art. Tomezsko’s work has been exhibited at numerous art spaces regionally and nationally, including the Crane Arts, Woodmere Art Museum, the Center For Emerging Visual Artists (CFEVA), and Wexler Gallery in Philadelphia; Lillstreet Art Center in Chicago, IL; the Delaware Contemporary in Wilmington, DE; and Thomas Hunter Projects in New York, NY. He has created several notable public art projects including "14 Movements: A Symphony in Color and Words," a mile-long temporary mural installed in downtown Philadelphia during the 2016 Democratic National Convention; "Look Long and Look Good," a series of 30 paintings currently installed along Main Street in Manayunk; and "Flowering Axes," a mural in the 5th Street Vehicular Tunnel underneath the Ben Franklin Bridge. His work is in the collection of The Wharton School at The University of Pennsylvania, Fox School of Business at Temple University, Capital One in Wilmington, DE; and various private collections. This painting was exhibited with the art of Roberto Lugo in: "In A Perfect World: Optimism in an Age of Anxiety" October 12 - November 20, 2020 Ringel Gallery, Stewart Center, Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN
