About

Matt Antoniak’s works explore ideas of artistic hierarchy, value, and of art making itself. In Scrapings he will be presenting a new body of paintings made over the previous 12 months. For a number of years he has worked with various leftover ephemera as reference – collecting and archiving drawings made on scrap paper in art stores, in libraries, lost shopping lists and in the whitewashed windows of disused shops. Over time, quotidian element from life began to appear in the works, with pocket lint, coins, seeds and squeezes of paint diligently rendered on the painting plane. The works in Scrapings blur the line through creator, salvager and archiver and explore notions of artistic value and individualism.
