Mathew Cerletty (born 1980, Wauwatosa, Wisconsin) is an artist who lives and works in New York City.
[1] Cerletty studied at Boston University College of Fine Arts graduating with a BFA in 2002.
"[3] Since then his practice has expanded to include text, patterned abstraction, landscape, and many other genres of painting.
He uses a variety of painting styles, most notably hyper-realistic precision, to bring significance to ordinary and unexpected subjects–from corporate logos, to cinder block walls, to Ikea furniture.
Although Cerletty approaches his images with a tongue-in-cheek humor, there is an underlying sincerity in his attention to detail.
