Here are a few images from Matt Doubek’s October 4th opening at Charmingwall Gallery in New York City. He even got the opportunity to paint the wall. Again, Matt Doubek goes above and beyond with his creativity and ability to paint! Amazing! A song should be dedicated to him.

INSIDE THE STUDIO OF ARTIST MATT DOUBEK. Last night I finally made my way over to Matt Doubek’s studio space. An awe inspiring, 360 square foot heated brick space void of plumbing. So what does this painter and collage mastermind do about water and having to go to the bathroom… several five-gallon buckets of water he brings from home and of course the notorious pee bucket. Those familiar with pee buckets and the frigid waters used to clean brushes will appreciate several of Doubek’s stories, one especially stands out where he ended up having to pay close to $150 to take a poop (in an indirect way of course). The stories are best heard from the Minnesota native’s lips, the thick accent makes it that much better, ya knoohhw?
Doubek always has a brew on hand for a guest, so as I enjoyed a drink I made my way through the hundreds of sketches, notes and magazines covering even more sketch, notes and magazines. I found a Playboy Magazine from 1972 in mint condition. Many of Doubek’s resources come from vintage periodicals and dumpster diving. Spend some time with Doubek’s pieces and you’ll most likely find several “boobies” cut from magazines in each of his pieces. As much as I like boobies, I have to say I was more turned-on by the amazing body of work that is being created in Doubek’s studio.
Doubek is preparing close to 50 pieces for his upcoming show at Pirate Gallery. The show will run from the 18th of January to the 1st of February (first friday), where there will be a party for the closing night. These are a few photos of Doubek, his studio, and some pieces to give you a sneak preview of his upcoming show.
