Matt Bollinger: “Bed on the Floor”<\/p>\n

He touches reality like he touches the color of the papers he paints. Then he tears them or cuts them up\u00a0and glues them by progressing from the background to the surface. Therefore the coloured feeling\u00a0combines with that of the material. Matt Bollinger knows stories, real-life stories that he can piece together\u00a0in the slightest detail. They come to him in fragments. It starts slowly: a girl smokes a cigarette in an\u00a0armchair. Two notebooks are placed on a table. The apparent banality of the scene is immediately\u00a0contradicted by the aggressiveness of the colours. One understands that this way of doing things is closely\u00a0linked to the intensity of an emotion, which is created by the story itself.<\/p>\n

For Matt Bollinger, the artist is a perpetual\u00a0wanderer in search of a truth that eludes him gradually as he seems to be approaching it. Therefore his\u00a0only refuge is in the work that is constructed. This is probably the reason why he wished to take this\u00a0rationale further, by creating a sculptural installation, an imitation of a temporary shelter made by a\u00a0homeless person: an overturned supermarket shopping cart serves as its structure. This installation is the\u00a0fruit of his collaboration with the artist Rachel Frank, in which each of them contributed their own artistic\u00a0practices. Together, they designed a construction capable of inviting the spectator, as in the theatre, to an\u00a0experience parallel to that proposed by Matt Bollinger\u2019s narrative collages: attempting, at every instant, to\u00a0grasp the beginning of a new story, a true story.<\/p>\n

Matt Bollinger was born in 1981 in Kansas City, Missouri, USA. He lives and works in Peekskill, New York, USA. He received his BFA from the\u00a0Kansas City Art Institute in 2003 and his MFA in Painting from the Rhode Island School of Design in 2007. His work has been shown widely, including Paris, New York, Philadelphia, and Provincetown. His work is in the collections of the Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art in Overland Park, Kansas, USA and the Mus\u00e9e des Beaux-Arts de Dole, France.<\/p>\n

American artist Matt Bollinger creates narrative collages using cut and pasted paper over which he applies paint to create his scenes. As gallerist Bernard Z\u00fcrcher says, the work uses aggressive colour as a way to express intense emotion.<\/p>\n
