The gallery is pleased to present Tony Matelli's iconic hypperrealist sculpture Sleepwalker (2014) at Frieze Sculpture 2023 at The Regent's Park in London, curated by Fatoş Üstek.

Tony Matelli (b. 1971, Chicago) is a New York-based sculptor known for his painstakingly detailed, resemblant sculptures. Concerned with how we define ourselves as human beings, what constitutes meaningful relationships and the transience of life, Matelli chronicles these ideas through a playful lens whilst pushing the boundaries of his medium. The result is a subversive dialogue that deepens the conversation surrounding the possibilities of sculpture.  
Incorporating figurative, botanical and abstract forms, his bronze sculptures rely on unusual juxtapositions such as his ‘Weeds’ series in which plants sprout from the space between gallery walls and floors. Across his oeuvre, and particularly in his mirror paintings, Matelli discards traditional genre categories in favour of experiential concerns.  
 
His work has been extensively exhibited in notable institutions including the National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne; Uppsala Museum, Sweden; Palais de Tokyo, Paris; The Davis Museum, Wellesley, MA; Kunsthalle, Vienna; and Bergen Kunstmuseum, Norway. His sculpture Sleepwalker is one his most iconic works and has been prominently featured at The High Line in New York and the campus of Wellesley College in Massachusetts.
