Matt Momchilov’s paintings are tender and effusive portraits of characters drawn from diverse walks of life—including the mall, the spirit world and the mythical American West. Opting for a soft grip over a heavy hand, the artist’ work depicts awkward but riveting figures in a raw palette contrasted with jewel tones and raggedy patterns. The unfinished nature of Momchilov’s compositions keep them in a constant state of becoming, while simultaneously serving as a giant middle finger to the marketplace status quo and its worship of the bottom line.
