Anthony Mastromatteo
Hello, My Name Is: Nike - miniature pictograph painting on paper

2023

About the Item

Anthony Mastromatteo re-introduced himself to the Grenning Gallery with his 2023 exhibition "Hello, My Name Is: Anthony Mastromatteo." The works included in the show were incredibly intricate trompe l'oeil oil paintings ranging in size from 7 x 5 inches to 48 x 36 inches. In supplement to the exhibition, Mastromatteo painted 10 pictographs on the recognizable "Hello My Name Is" nametags and put them in plastic sleeves one would clip on their person for any kind of large function. There is always a bit of tongue and cheek in Mastromatteo's work, and it shows in these little vignettes. In this nametag, Mastromatteo paints the world-renowned "Nike" symbol, making one say the words "Hello, my name is Nike" even though the word Nike is not there. As an extremely intellectual painter, Mastromatteo also opens up the idea of the symbol "Nike" being interpreted as the Greek goddess Nike, as some of his paintings allude to greek gods and goddesses, often through mass culture symbols like comic book characters. This painting on paper can be wearable art, or mounted in a frame, inviting everyone who sees it to say the suggested phrase aloud. Painting dimensions: 2.5 x 3.5 inches Dimensions in the plastic holder: 4 x 5.5 inches Artist Bio The arts have been an integral part of Anthony Mastromatteo’s life for over 25 years. A Bachelor of Arts degree in Art History from Princeton University in 1992 led to a five year position at Christie’s auction house in New York City in the American Paintings, 19th Century Paintings and Maritime Paintings and Objects departments. As his exposure to the art world expanded he began studying the practice of art after work at the Art Student’s League in New York City. In 1997 he made the transition to full-time art study at the Water Street Atelier, a school of art practice based on the methodology of the French Academy and the French atelier system of the 18th and 19th centuries, under the tutelage of Jacob Collins. In 2002 he finished his studies and made the transition to working as a professional artist. He has worked solely as an artist since that time. He currently has representation with galleries in New York City, Los Angeles and Cleveland. Anthony currently resides with his wife and daughter, Stella and Alba, in Akron, Ohio.
