Roberto Matta (1911 - 2003)

between the world reknown work of Chilean-born artist Matta,

and that of three New York City artists,

RAMMELLZEE, Futura and Phase 2.

Phase 2

Joseph Nahmad presents artists' work in unexpected

contexts and venues.

"To see their work for the first time on display beside a

venerated modern master, we are compelled to consider

the many striking similarities in pictorial space and aesthetic sensibility"

Matta

Phase 2

Futura

"This latest breed of distinctly urban art flourished in plain sight

of the pedestrian public, and yet it is a sophisticated system of symbols

whose inner meanings are still veiled in as much mystery as the ancient

written language of kings, hieroglyphics. Juxtaposed against Matta's

arcane imagery acts as a Rosetta Stone in this regard"
