Matt Magee "Asemic 1" Lithograph
These lithographs were made in collaboration with Matt Magee in 2025. They are printed on a beautiful cream paper with a vibrant scarlet red ink. Matt's work references language, organization, structure, as well as the intuitive and the fluid. Best known for his minimal abstract geometric paintings, sculptures and prints, his work explores language symbolically with an emphasis on repetition and nods to art historical precedents.These works represent his interest in "Asemic Writing".
Asemic means “having no specific context”, a wordless, open semantic form of writing.
From Matt, “Language has always been imbedded in my work and it wasn’t until the past few years that I’ve come to understand how I phrase the shapes in my prints, paintings and sculptures is a form of asemic writing.”
