Matthew Usinowicz UCSB MFA
My current works examine my experiences with American capitalist ideologies, specifically the relationship between human and commodity. Rooted in the American working class, I grew up as a paperboy, butcher, and US Navy sailor. My work reflects the political and conceptual outlook of these experiences.
As serious as this sounds I like to keep it humorous. My process involves chaotic processes of graffiti, tattooing, painting & drawing, three dimensional studies, lots of cooking, and everyday city living – somehow these all twirl around in my brain and art is the result.
Matthew's work is included in the GLAMFA 2014 exhibition showing at California State University, Long Beach, from August 31st to September 4th, 2014.
