Matthew Rose – Goodbye America (2025, Original Collage, 18 × 18 cm, Signed on Board)

Set against a vivid blue background, Goodbye America by Matthew Rose juxtaposes a cut-out bird’s head with a boldly raised human arm, creating a striking composition rich in symbolic resonance. As the title suggests, the work evokes reflections on nationhood, the human body, and cultural endings, blending surreal humor with critical commentary characteristic of Rose’s practice.

Executed on heavy-weight board, the layered papers and textured painted background enhance the tactile presence of the piece. Its compact square format makes it equally suitable for wall display or tabletop presentation.
