TONY MATELLI (Chicago, USA, 1971). "Weed (563)," 2020. Painted bronze. Unique piece. Attached certificate issued by Tony Matelli Studio signed by the artist. Measurements: 71 x 33 x 20 cm. In the Weed series, bunches of common flowers are inverted and reified into meticulously constructed sculptures. These works, which include kaleidoscopic tulips, lilies, potted orchids and vibrant anthuriums, have been transformed into cast bronze. These sculptures are reinstalled in space as if the laws of nature that contain them were intact, albeit inverted, around them. Following the words the artist himself referred to Marie Nipper in an interview "I wanted them to be experienced, first, as simple weeds. I didn't want it to be like a sculpture. In Weeds they really function that way; I don't think people initially perceive them as sculpture, I think people see them as real weeds, which functions in the viewer's mind as real intruders, strange and out of place." Tony Matelli is an American sculptor internationally recognized for his hyperrealist artwork. Born in Chicago, Matelli received his BFA from the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design in 1993 and his MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art in 1995. His artistic output incorporates figurative, botanical and abstract forms. Other works rely on unusual juxtapositions, such as the Weeds series, in which plants sprout from the space between the gallery walls and floors. By defying gravity and manipulating optics, Matelli offers viewers a fresh perspective on familiar objects and appearances, transforming reality into something novel. Each of Matelli's works has a provocative element that serves as a protest against established norms and conventions. In all of his work, and particularly in his mirror paintings, Matelli discards traditional genre categories in favor of experiential concerns. His sculptures redefine the tradition of American hyperrealism, exploring themes of loneliness, vulnerability, resilience, and resistance against adverse circumstances. The sculptor's greatest notoriety has arisen from his work Sleepwalker and the placement of the work therein. Installed publicly for the first time in front of Wellesley College, an all-women's school. Tony Matelli has presented solo exhibitions internationally, including; the Moscow Biennial of Contemporary Art, ARoS Aarhus Kunstmuseum, Aarhus, Denmark and the National Museum of Fine Arts, Bilbao, Spain. He has exhibited public sculptures, including his 2014 sculpture of a man in his underwear in full sleepwalker, Sleepwalker, installed at The High Line in New York, as well as collaborations with fashion brands such as Maison Margiela. His work can be found in collections such as the AkzoNobel Art Foundation, The Netherlands; ARKEN Museum of Modern Art, Museum of Contemporary Art, Montreal; Museum Ludwig, Cologne; and Philbrook Museum of Art, Tulsa.
