Born in 1976, Matt Macintosh is a Toronto-based interdisciplinary artist working across photography, sculpture, perfor- mance, video, web, writing, design and painting. With an interest in the role of abstraction in the relationship between identity and knowledge production, his work intervenes on or stands in critical relation to existing objects, text or imagery\u2014and to the media used to embody them\u2014in order to open up the terms under which they are discussed and understood. He studied Drawing and Painting at the Ontario College of Art and Design before completing his Master of Visual Studies degree at the University of Toronto.<\/p>\n

Abstraction Series: Object (2012)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Beginning with the reductive tendencies used in Mondrian\u2019s Victory Boogie-Woogie <\/em>(1943-1944), Abstraction Series: Object <\/em>moves through the neo-romantic and pseudo surreal aspects of inter-war European painting as it culls, crops and edits archival photographs of Penicillin production facilities in Toronto between 1944-1945. Mirroring the image on its centre axis, obsolete technology is presented with mandala-like symmetry.<\/p>\n
