About the Item
An oil painting by Anthony Mastromatteo. A hyper-real depiction of a wrapped package, white paper folded into wrapping paper around a special object, most likely a gift, is secured by a thin string of red twine. The string tightens in the center, and pulls at the paper, creating creases that feel tangible.
Signed "Mastromatteo" on verso.
Framed in simple black floating frame: 8.5 x 6.5 x 2 inches framed
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.

Felix Culpa, or Must be a Woe - trompe l
oeil oil painting
By Anthony Mastromatteo
Located in Sag Harbor, NY
Continuing his affinity for Malevich’s geometric paragon is Felix Culpa or ‘Must be a Woe,” this time, in red.

The three “Red Squares” map the edges of the invisible crucifix, and an old violin...
