About The Work
Mat Tomezko's "Price" series of mixed media paintings are constructed from periodicals, circulars, acrylic, asphalt, and coal on panel. Using mostly found materials and imagery such as coupons from circulars and community newspapers, Tomezsko weaves together a wide range of themes. His work records patterns of consumption and their effects, and shows how a wide breadth of issues are interrelated. The series reimagines materials that are so ubiquitous they are almost invisible. Circulars are distributed weekly and are often seen strewn about the street. Asphalt makes up our physical surroundings and coal powers our daily lives. The materials are visually and conceptually linked as forces of both creation and destruction.
