Matt Phillips: Hold Tight Horizon Eyes

Matt Phillips is a painter living in Brooklyn, NY. Recent exhibitions include Hold Tight Horizon Eyes, on view at Anna Zorina Gallery (NYC) through January 13, 2024 . Phillips’ works often employ fundamental elements of painting: simple shapes, modulated values and color relationships. These rather rudimentary components are combined and remixed to produce unexpected outcomes. Color, shape, mark and form engage one another in both strange and familiar ways, becoming tense, humorous, quirky and ultimately meaningful. He is represented by The Landing Gallery (LA) and Mindy Solomon Gallery (Miami).

Jason Stopa is a painter and writer living in Brooklyn. He received his BFA from Indiana University Bloomington and his MFA from Pratt Institute. Recent solo shows include DIY Paradise at Assembly, Houston, TX (2023), Garden of Music at Diane Rosenstein, LA (2023), and Joy Labyrinth at Morgan Lehman in NYC (2021). Recent group exhibitions include Intuitive Nature: Geometric Roots & Organic Foundations at The Schneider Museum, Ashland, OR (2023), among others. Stopa is Assistant Professor of Fine Arts at FIT and a contributing writer to The Brooklyn Rail, BOMB, Hyperallergic, Momus, artcritical, and other art journals.
