ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Breaker was born in my studio from an experiment with silhouettes of icons – a crow from Sri Lanka, a trophy, Queen Elizabeth, Mickey Mouse, a Gaulois cigarette helment with wings, a target. Then after years of considering this piece, I laid an exploding ray patter, a vector over the entire piece. Using a 1920s French comic book as elements (the rays), I cut them up and slowly obscured the original ensemble. The result reveals by obscuring the underlying image. Sometimes I use addition to produce a work, other times subtraction (scrubbing, sanding away the work). Here I subtracted by adding.

MATTHEW ROSE lives and works in Paris, France. Known widely for his collage works and wall-to-wall, ceiling-to-floor installations, he graduated from Brown University (1981) with a degree in Semiotics/Linguistics. Influenced by Americans Ray Johnson, Jasper Johns, Joseph Cornell and a handful of French surrealists, Rose works late hours ripping apart paper and bits of text to remake contemporary life into a specific, yet unbound book, what the artist calls his “theory of everything.” "Most of my work involves collage; I cut and paste in all flavors. But I draw, paint, sculpt, find, assemble and put together words as well. I'm always working, I never close." CURRENTLY: Published Coronaville. A graphic novella about the Trump Pandemic.
