Matt Duquette

Medium(s): Mixed Media, Painting

Summary/Artist Statement:

Matt "Duke" Duquette's collection of mixed media works are based on his past, present and future physical, and metaphysical, surroundings. Matt digs deep into the dark rooms of the mind and crops what most presumably is the climax of an event, dream or idea. His intention is to tell the complete story or capture it’s essence in one striking, collective image. They are littered with newspaper clippings, post it notes, hand written letters, scrap sketches, and layered with acrylic and pencil on board. Quite often each scrap of material is related to the concept and has a story of its own. It's all about the gritty memories and dreams that come with surviving life. Through its construction, each piece in the collection allows for various levels of tactile and psychological meaning.
