Though trained as a printmaker, Adam Matak uses paint, markers and ball point pens to achieve the graphic aesthetic of print. Major themes that have consistently run through his work have been: reception, connectivity an historical narratives that connect us.

Matak has been exhibited in both private and public galleries throughout Ontario and is collected locally and internationally. He has been published in Art Works, a Canadian art history textbook, and reviewed in The National Post, The Globe & Mail and Blog TO. Le Gallery’s Objects of Value marks Matak’s fourth major exhibition this year.

The artist now lives and works in Toronto with is wife Phillipa Chong, a cultural sociologist who studies the sociology of value/evaluation.
