Mat McCormick
Matt McCormick (b. 1987) is a multidisciplinary artist, whose artwork assimilates a diversity of cultural influences culled from the highs and lows of American life into an artistic vision that is as unique and dynamic as the topography itself. Within McCormick’s body of work, seemingly incompatible elements cohabitate with ease—reflecting the conflicting histories of the “land of the free”. Here, as in his paintings, drawings, and other media, nostalgia for a fabled past abuts the realities of the “American dream” that confront him daily in Los Angeles and New York, where his studios are located. The artist embraces these gritty aspects as equally formative to the Land of Liberty as the homestead towns, gold rush bonanzas and 1950s Hollywood glamour that captivate our popular imagination. His works ruminate on the striking contrast between the physical inheritance of the Wild West, populated with dejected and disposable objects, and the vibrant cultural legacy that remains as alive today as ever before. McCormick’s art embodies the “true“ spirit of America, but also the human condition, replete with renegades, risk takers and outlaws.
McCormick lives and works in Los Angeles and New York. His work has been exhibited in solo and group shows in New York, Paris, Hong Kong, Miami, London, Los Angeles, Tokyo, Aspen, and San Francisco.
