Artist Statement

[Matthew Mazurkiewicz]

Berks County-based artist Matthew Mazurkiewicz is widely-recognized for his mastery of capturing a fleeting moment through his artistic and abstract flexibility.  

Having spent much of his adult life­­ creating art in many of its various forms, Mazurkiewicz's recent body of work, Standards & Practices, highlights both his process and his command of media. Employing everything from household paint, charcoal, roofing tar and whatever else will stick to his canvas, Mazurkiewicz implores the viewer not only to see what he has seen but also to imagine the touch, taste and scent of the material and subject, as well.
