Adventurism -
the willingness to take risks in business or politics; actions, tactics, or attitudes regarded as daring or reckless.
WHat is MAtic?
The willingness to free whats beneath the surface. Are all the things that come naturally to us ever truly explored? Derived from the word "automatic", Matic is a concept I created that involves breaking down self imposed barriers in order to see what you can really do. If we focus on the willingness to free what is already beneath the surface, the depth and truth about ourselves becomes bigger and better. Let the undeniable see the light. Let the internal Matic out.
About the Artist
Artist Statement
Sommer Smith McPherson recently started to pursue a deeper relationship with her long time interest in the arts. She focuses mainly on themes of abstract expressionism, memory, and each of our differing relationships with the unknown future.
The reference materials she uses stem from her beginning memories of joy and confusion. From comic books to experimental music, the vastly differing attributes of an object, experience, or person she encounters is brought forth and combined in efforts to prove the importance towards her areas of concern regarding the ruptured state of expression amongst people today.
Bio
Sommer Smith McPherson is currently pursuing a career as a painter in the realm of contemporary abstract art. She has always held an interest in understanding the “why” behind people’s actions in life, and the mysteries surrounding inaccurate foresight.
Growing up in New England, she was never in short supply of academically centered art, although there are two sides to every coin. She is now on a mission to expand her perspective not only through art, but through everything that is not traditionally considered in such hierarchical systems. Actual beauty is not manufactured, it is found.
