Artist Registry
The White Columns Curated Artist Registry is an online platform for emerging and under-recognized artists to share images and information about their respective practices. The Registry seeks to create a context for artists who have yet to benefit from wider critical, curatorial or commercial support. To be eligible, artists cannot be affiliated with a commercial gallery in New York City.

RESUME
Matthew Sepielli is a painter whose works challenge conventions of singular artistic style and explore a wide range of traditional and non-traditional artistic materials. His paintings are concerned with the manner in which painting itself, not style or image, is a unique carrier of meaning and how painting may be expanded, manipulated, stretched and explored to better understand its possibilities. Matthew’s work has been shown at The Painting Center (solo) and Jack Barrett Gallery, both in New York, School 33 in Baltimore, The Woodmere Art Museum, Tiger Strikes Asteroid, Atelier FAS and MOPS; all in Philadelphia, and as a part of Temporary Allegiance at Gallery 400, The University of Illinois, Chicago. Reviews of his work and projects have been featured in Hyperallergic, The Philadelphia Inquirer and 34th Street Magazine, among others. Between 2009–2012 he was Director of Tiger Strikes Asteroid, an artist run space in Philadelphia which now has locations across the United States. From August 2016-July 2020, Sepielli was as an Assistant Professor of Painting at Tyler School of Art and Architecture, Temple University in Philadelphia where he also served as the Area Head of Painting teaching in the Undergraduate and Graduate programs. In August of 2020 he left Tyler to begin a new position at Delaware County Community College where he is now an Associate Professor. He holds a BFA in Painting and Drawing from Tyler School of Art and an MFA in Painting from Bard College.
