Matt Connors (1973) is a New York-based artist working predominantly in abstract painting. He draws from language, music, and design to create paintings that seem simultaneously familiar and new. Using mostly raw canvases, Connors also produces Color Field-like works by pouring layers of paint into fabric like dye, or imprinting one wet canvas onto another. Clear modern influences notwithstanding, Connors describes his modestly scaled practice as “a kind of inward progression so that materials, processes, the studio, and my own actions have all started to qualify for me as origin points in and of themselves.”
