About the Work
Matt Kleberg explores the tension between abstraction and narrative; anticipation and loss; surface and depth. His preferred compositional conduits for this exploration are theatrical interiors comprised of colorful expressive lines organized by formal rigidity with an emphasis on architectural formality. Kleberg’s spaces are as psychological as they are literal — sprawling curtains frame the image and tilt back to reveal the grand stage of emptiness, a performance with no performers. By presenting viewers with this paradox, Kleberg subverts expectations and introduces open-ended questions regarding the act of viewing and its illusions.

All of our frames are made from sustainably sourced engineered hardwood that is manufactured in the USA. Frames are available in Black or White Matte and Walnut.
MAT
Prints are hinged to a conservation quality, acid-free and lignin-free Cellulose matboard, using acid-free polyethylene cloth tape. Each mat’s surface paper is fade and bleed resistant and is attached to a conversation quality foam-core board. Some of our work (typically those pieces with a deckled edge) is floated on the matboard with spacers to separate the artwork from the glazing.
