Over a career spanning more than four decades, Magee has been a Josef and Anni Albers Foundation resident fellow, a New York Foundation for the Arts Painting Grant recipient, and a Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant recipient. Throughout his life, he has established ways of collecting that now inform his art making practice. Later, Magee was the chief photo archivist for the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation. As a young adult he worked on a seismic truck in Laredo, TX and recorded vibrations sent into the earth to determine underlying geologic formations. ![]() In his early years Magee found a sense of order from his father, a geologist and archaeologist, who took him on trips through the Southwest where he collected small objects along the way. His sculptures are inspired by or comprised of found objects and point to the mundane yet hold a sophisticated presence. Magee’s compositions are organizations of shapes that have been informed by personal history, numerology, and language. His visual language relates to early hard-edge abstraction and finds inspiration in the way a scientist would present objects. Matt Magee combines geometric minimalism with expressive brushwork in his paintings.
