The video constructs created by Los Angeles new media upstart Matteo could belong equally in gallery, home, museum or the wilder provinces of Burning Man. This crossover of cultural loci is achieved through his seamless implementation of beauty in form and cogent critique; all delivered with heavy dollop of pop sensibility. His tone is sexy and ironic, brutal though his analysis is often that of serious issues he is always funny, colorful and engaging.

He who says that "It has all been done before" has not seen the work of video artist, MATTEO. Who has pushed video art to a new stage, and bringing it TO ONE. Many stages actually and each of impressive concept and design. The result, his Video Sculptures. Fine art works of beauty radiating video art in compelling and new ways.

I think the works are brilliant. When art can really GRAB you, your focused on it and your really trying to understand and relate to the artist, then its done what every artists wants and that is the attention of people. To relate to their own personal being as well as relate to the work. I think that these works represent all of that. Its 2008 and five years ago video art was just starting to come into its position in the art world. You see a lot of video art, this work actually, and for the first time, and what makes it so unique, is that you can actually BUY and enjoy video art in MATTEOs sculptural piece in your living room.
MATTEO, IS PUSHING THE BARRIERS OF WHAT IS TRADITIONALLY DEFINED AS ART. HIS UNIQUE PIECES, FEATURING INTRIGUING VIDEO SCULPTURES, INCORPORATE SOUND AND SCREEN. ANN SHITILIA THE ASSOSCIATED PRESS
Absolutely surprising and compelling. His ideas are sophisticated, emotionally nuanced, with challenging ideas and impressive craftsmanship. His forms combine the twin fantasies of science fiction with sensuality, and above all do not resemble traditional notions of what sculpture, video, or indeed any other work of art should look like.

MATTEO's work is a unique way of experiencing new media fused with sculpture. His technology driven sculptures reference the mediated post-modern experience through the fusion of the physical and virtual. His work has an elegant and refined presence, while light and animated imagery reflect fragments of and references to the contemporary visual culture that shapes our social environment.
