Mathew Cerletty: End of the Line

“Mathew Cerletty’s End of the Line brings together a new series of meticulously rendered paintings that elevate everyday objects into quiet, uncanny icons. Through hyper-precise surfaces and bold fields of color, Cerletty isolates familiar items—envelopes, sponges, gloves, sinks—until they feel both intimate and strangely monumental. The exhibition reveals his ongoing fascination with the tension between banality and transcendence, using ordinary forms to explore questions of presence, perception, and meaning. Installed as a contemplative ensemble, the works speak to each other through shape, texture, and tone, creating a visual meditation on the objects that structure daily life.”
