Exhibits

Tony Matelli

March 16 – April 27, 2013

 

Tony Matelli invests his art with layers of familiarity and discomfort, combining remarkable verisimilitude with a darkly comic approach to the function of his subjects within the specific context of the gallery. Matelli's work frequently suspends time and disbelief, pausing images both unlikely and mundane in moments of peculiar aesthetic tension.
