Description
Rare Device, is proud to present Total Animal: New Work by Matt Cipov. A reception for the artist will be held Friday, November 7 from 7 - 9 pm.Cipov, an emerging artist from the Midwest, views Total Animal as his "sampler." "Total it together and you get me," he quips. "I spend my days thinking about creatures, masks, funny animals and goons, ghouls, owls, magic. However, no single thing in that list that defines me, or my art." Add together those things that he loves, jumble them up, spill it all out, and you'll get a sense of what makes him tick. Cipov loves to draw, and he is prolific, drawing and creating nearly every day of his life whenever he has a moment. When we asked him where the title for his show came from he laughed: "I am a total animal. Beware!"
Matt Cipov lives in Milwaukee, Wisconsin with his wife Lynda and his son Max. He has lived in Wisconsin all his life and graduated from the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design in 1999.
