Curatorial Note:
In Out of Something, accumulation replaces subtraction. Canvas fragments and wire mesh interlock within plaster, producing a layered tectonic surface that evokes adaptive reuse—materials salvaged and reorganized into new order. The embedded mesh functions like reinforcement within concrete, foregrounding construction as aesthetic fact. Distinctively, a single golden star punctuates the field, interrupting material austerity with symbolic inflection. This insertion complicates minimalist logic, introducing aspiration, ideology, or myth into structural abstraction. Here, architecture is not erased but recomposed: debris becomes syntax, and abstraction carries the visible memory of prior systems transformed into provisional coherence. Artist: Matthew Remsbecher Born 1985, Matthew Remsbecher had a varied and colorful childhood living with his father, a carpenter, traveling throughout Colorado and Washington state. Living under unconventional means, Matt was exposed to a variety of unique living conditions, art and artists which informed his unique and honest experience and impression of the world. Finding connection with nature and craftsmanship, Matt connected with the power of creation and creativity- sculpting forms in the woods and traversing the high desert plateaus of Colorado. Developing a sense of design and vision into his 20s, Matt found his way to a professional education in Sustainable Design and Urban Planning; a discipline that allowed creative explorations combined with technical expertise and practice. Establishing himself as a notable designer and builder in Bellingham, Matt has applied his creative and technical practice to a host of artistic mediums including 3D sculpture, projection mapping, video performance, DJing and creative fine arts. Furthering his practice into his 30s and early 40s, Matt works to cultivate subtle forms of fine art that evoke a calm presence of form and color. Meant to be minimal and abstract, his works utilize organic forms, materials and gestures- presenting us with subdued shapes and colors and a process of self discovery of emotion, feeling and visual intrigue.
