Artist Matthew Mark (MCM) hails from the great white north of Canada. Eloquently, MCM is a visual artist and painter in contemporary art from this new age “METAMODERNISM,” coined by cultural theorists Timotheus Vermeulen and Robin van den Akker. It is what comes after the postmodernism era for the 2020s and beyond, moving forward in the arts. This consists of technological breakthroughs that the visual art world will need to continue to adapt and evolve around as society keeps advancing.
Metamodernism aims to continue with past art genres and traditions while exploring and expanding them further from those past concepts or ideas, merging and reconstructing them with what is currently going on in our world at the present time. These realms include exploring and using digital and social media, virtual and mixed realities, A.I., robotics, and the post-industrial information age. These are the reasons for the emergence of metamodernism.
Artist MCM is multifaceted in his discipline and art practice. His experiences of growing up in western Canada are reflected throughout his artwork. When it comes to the visual arts, Matthew focuses on his own style of painting, drawing, printmaking, sculpture, and installation. He observes light and dark themes and everything in between. MCM experiments with mediums such as acrylics, charcoal, graphite, ink, and sculpturing.
Art genre influences of expressionism and fauvism are interwoven throughout his work.
