Adam Matak is a contemporary artist based out of Hamilton, ON. He is currently working in collaged floral works made solely from paint swatches from local paint stores. The works bloom, wilt, expand, decorate, deteriorate in both natural and unnatural ways. These pieces explore themes of art history, life, death, and being a new parent.

Adam Matak holds an MFA from Tufts University/School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. His practice explores the surprising beauty of our daily routines and traditions. Turning his attention to the world of nature in a time that is largely unnatural; Matak composes floral arrangements from the “garden” of paint shops and hardware stores. Solo exhibitions include Assembly Gallery (Hamilton),  Le Gallery (Toronto), ARTCITE Inc. (Windsor), Agnes Jamieson Gallery (Minden Hills), and the Thames Art Gallery (Chatham). Matak’s work has been featured in the textbook Art Works as well as The Hamilton Spectator, The Globe and Mail, National Post, and The Boston Globe.

His works are held in private collections both locally and internationally.
