Matt Gondek, an American artist born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in 1982, has carved a distinctive niche for himself as a pioneering figure in the deconstructive pop art movement. A self taught artist with a background in digital illustration and graphic design, Gondek's creative philosophy is rooted in a punk rock spirit, celebrating rebellion and destruction through the visceral reinterpretation of beloved pop culture icons. His work, characterized by bold lines and a vivid, "pop" color palette (including a signature "Pink Cocaine" hue), features well known cartoon characters such as Mickey Mouse, Bugs Bunny, and Homer Simpson appearing to melt, explode, or fall apart in a chaotic yet balanced composition.

Gondek views these characters as "modern day gods" in contemporary culture, and his art serves as a critical engagement with power and societal norms, exposing the underlying aggression and flaws within society with a dark humor. He fluidly translates his unique vision across multiple mediums, including large scale murals, paintings, sculptures, and digital art, including NFTs and limited edition designer toys. Based in Los Angeles, Gondek has achieved global recognition with sold out exhibitions in major cities like New York, Paris, Tokyo, and Hong Kong. He has collaborated with notable celebrities like musicians J Balvin and The Weeknd and has a sharp business sense, branching his art practice into various commercial avenues while remaining true to his distinct, explosive style. Gondek is also the host of the "Clean Break" podcast, where he discusses the art world and business with other influential artists.
