Tinsquo's curatorial project, Adjacent To Life, presents Everything Must Go! by Matt Hart.
From the gallery statement:
Matt Hart was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area, spending much of his youth and young adulthood engrossed and participating in the vibrant art and music scene of the SF East Bay (Oakland/Berkeley) throughout the late 1980s and into the early double zeros when he relocated to the Chapel Hill/Durham area of North Carolina until 2019. Matt now resides in Boulder County, Colorado where he makes a living tattooing “permanent” pictures on the skin suits of his fellow impermanent human beans.
Between spending years on the road hitchhiking and train hopping around the Americas, Matt went to several community colleges throughout California, eventually attending art school at the California College of the Arts (formerly CCAC) in Oakland and San Francisco on a full printmaking scholarship in the late 1990s, graduating with distinction in the Fall of 2001.
Alongside his fine art career, for decades Matt has happily made flyers, t-shirts, gigposters and record covers for many of his favorite bands throughout the country and abroad. Matt Hart has exhibited works in California, Oregon, Washington, Chicago, Minneapolis, New York and North Carolina and has been a part of several traveling exhibitions throughout the United States, Canada and Europe.
