Matthew Conradt
To Repeat- Red contemporary interior photo transfer collage on mylar

2016

About the Item

Matthew Conradt To Repeat Mixed media on Mylar 44 x 59.5 inches 2016 this item is not framed In this piece Conradt shows the disarray that happens within a domestic environment. He splices different sections of the photo together to create a rift in the middle of the piece, right where the family love seat would be placed. The chaos created by the collage is heightened by the blood red color of the wallpaper. 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.

  • Earth Remains #45
    Located in Sante Fe, NM
    This photograph is representative of two related series of mine that deal with humanity's impact on and relationship with the earth. This relationship is not sustainable. Lately, I have begun to dream of our tortured earth with the remains of our hubris drifting through space, mined to extinction. This work is an attempt to tear through the ugliness of the world we have made, through the blindness of our voracious appetite to the vastness beyond, where beauty cares not for our perception of it. As Robinson Jeffers wrote: “The beauty of things was born before eyes and sufficient to itself; the heartbreaking beauty/ Will remain when there is no heart to break for it.” -- William Lesch
