About the Item
Animated cartoon comic--like portrait oil painting on paper by Matt Straub. Signed on back by artist. Offered framed.
Paper size: 7 x 6 inches
Frame size: 11 x 9 inches.
Matt Straub's subjects are derived from various sources: snapshots, found images, auction catalogs containing 19th-century genre paintings, actor headshots, and portraits he photographed in the studio. His agitated surfaces degrade and obscure the original reference, replacing it with a sublime and resonating nostalgia.
Straub maintains a careful approach to a tradition of painting, an unsentimental contemplation. Using a subdued palette with simplified tonalities, his wet-on-wet brushwork describes details, employing trial and error rather than improvisation. The work merges the representational (inward contemplation) and the abstract (outward appearance of the surface).
The image is not a rendering of the subject's gaze but is mainly concerned with the real pictorial space of the surface. Yet it is a surface always tied to the figure and a sense of facts and the presentation of self.

- SOCIAL Losas "I"Located in Natchez, MSThis work is from the artist's SOCIAL series, based on the iconic Cuban magazine of the same name. Conde, uninterested in painting his home town of Havana as it currently is, hearkens back to the heydays of Cuba, time of SOCIAL magazine. Conde has revived SOCIAL magazine, if only in his head, and is creating 240 new covers for the magazine. He will symbolically close the magazine on the date of the revolution. The artist often uses gold, silver and palladium leaf in the works to symbolize the power and wealth which Cuba once possessed. In this work, SOCIAL "I", a stylized woman from a bygone era has plucked the silver I from the word SOCIAL, in the background the pattern is representative of the ever present Cuban tiles.Category
