Matt Wycoff is an artist, writer, woodworker, designer, and curator living in Brooklyn and Stephentown, New York. Wycoff was born in Anderson, South Carolina in 1980, and holds a degree in sculpture from the Kansas City Art Institute. He is a MacDowell Fellow and has been the recipient of studio fellowships at the Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts in Omaha, Nebraska and The Urban Culture Project in Kansas City, Missouri. His work in the visual arts has been widely exhibited and reviewed. Recent exhibitions include Derek Eller Gallery (New York, New York), Vanity Projects (New York, New York and Miami, Florida), JOAN (Los Angeles, California), Kijidome (Boston, Massachusetts), and Underdonk (Brooklyn, New York). He is currently co-curator of the critically acclaimed traveling exhibition, Young Gifted and Black: The Lumpkin-Boccuzzi Family Collection of Contemporary Art.

Wycoff’s line of furniture began in 2013 as a response to the challenges of furnishing a railroad apartment and is an extension of his drawing and studio practice. His move into furniture design was inspired by designers and artists such as Gerrit Rietveld, Donald Judd, and Ellsworth Kelly, and is influenced by a wide range of other traditions including African Kuba cloth textiles, Amish quilting, and Native American Acoma pottery.

Matt Wycoff’s short fiction has been published in the Washington Square Review and F Magazine. He has written for numerous other publications including the best-selling catalog, Young, Gifted and Black: A New Generation of Artists, published in 2020 by D.A.P. See less
