  • Matthew Kirk (b. 1978, Ganado, AZ) is an enrolled member of the Navajo Nation and currently lives and works in Brooklyn, New York. A self-taught artist, Kirk has worked for over twelve years in New York City as a professional art handler— a trade that has often influenced his artistic practice in terms of utilizing readily available materials to make his art. His gestural paintings and abstract assemblages are steeped in symbolism and iconography that relate to the visual language of the Navajo, while his use of the grid as compositional armature takes structural inspiration from traditional Navajo weavings and rugs, as well as topographical maps and urban landscapes. Kirk states, “Just as family, work, current events, and city life are reflected in the work, my Indian heritage plays an important, but nuanced role.” Kirk’s work is currently featured in the META tech giant’s new complex in NYC alongside other site-specific installations by artists Baseera Khan and Liz Collins, among others. Kirk has exhibited at Adams and Ollman, Portland; Intuit: The Center for Intuitive and Outsider Art, Chicago; Louis B. James, New York; and Exit Art, New York. In 2019, Kirk was awarded the Eiteljorg Contemporary Art Fellowship in Indianapolis, Indiana. He is represented by Fierman Gallery in New York City.
