The Collapse Contracted, 2025
Matt Macintosh (b. 1976, Guelph, Canada) is an artist and curator based in Kamloops, British Columbia. He has a Masters of Visual Studies from the University of Toronto, where he received the prestigious UofT Fellowship award two years running. Matt has exhibited in Canada, the US and Europe and his works are held in numerous private and public collections. Matt reflects on his deep art historical knowledge to inform his practice. Traditional materials and tools claim their place within centuries of Western oil painting. The basis of that tradition leads relationships of colour, shape and tone to explore painting as a language unique in its capacity to point radically beyond itself.
