Artist Blog: Matthew Sporzynski 2/28/10




During our last class session, Ashleigh Hobson recommended Matthew Sporzynski. When I tried to google him, I realized I was very familiar with his work. Sporzynski creates paper sculptures for the life/home improvement magazine, Real Simple. While the artist doesn't' have his own web page, there is a demand for it. Real Simple reports comments, "If he's not famous, he should be." They also have received, "Please tell us something about Matthew Sporzynski." Does Real Simple own his soul? Apparently the artist is a graphic designer and works as professor at the parsons the new school of design. He has also created promotional materials for the MoMa, Estee Lauder and Ralph Lauren. Last night I dug up a Real Simple magazine from 2007, there were 4 pages scattered throughout the issues with his work relating to summer. Sporzynski succeeded in creating a swimming pool out of paper, delicious ice cream pops and a paper jar filled with lightning bugs all dedicated to celebrating the month of July. Can you even image what his portfolio would look like?
