■ Curator's Note
Exploring the human figure clothed in social "signifiers" — the business suit, the uniform — this work reconstructs fragments from vintage advertisements and magazines to embed a quiet commentary on individual identity and the hollowness of capitalist roles within a deceptively playful Pop sensibility. Mounted on a wooden panel, it functions equally as a wall piece or a sculptural object to be propped on a shelf.
■ About the Artist
Matthew Rose was born in New York in 1959. He studied semiotics and linguistics at Brown University, graduating in 1981, and moved to Paris in 1992, where he has worked ever since.
His materials are sourced from Paris flea markets: vintage maps, textbooks, and musical scores. From these found objects he has developed a distinctive collage practice that disassembles and reconstructs the systems of sign and meaning embedded in everyday life.
"A Book About Death," the project Rose initiated in 2009, has been exhibited in more than thirty cities worldwide. It is held in the permanent collections of MoMA (The Museum of Modern Art, New York) and LACMA (Los Angeles County Museum of Art).
Rose has contributed to The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal. In 2019, a solo exhibition — "Weekend Plans" — was presented at the Karuizawa New Art Museum, organised by Whitestone Gallery.
