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.
