Matthew Tully Dugan

Friday Oct 24, 2025

Matthew Tully Dugan (b. 1986) is a New York born and based multidisciplinary artist. The artist’s interests span renaissance art, celebrity, psychology, occult practices, pop iconography, privacy, and fanaticism. Dugan often employs promotional, social, and found imagery as well as divinatory visions in a practice motivated by ritualistic impulse and alchemical processes that investigate media’s physical and emotional divide. His paintings, sculptures, installations, texts, and curatorial projects collapse the popular and the subcultural, the collective and the personal, as a means of processing contemporary conditions and their impact on the psyche. In his most recent work Dugan has furthered his research of the materiality and techniques of renaissance painting systems in a continued effort to embed and articulate the incurrence of talismanic energy that is formed through ceremonial practice within the space between intention and objectness.
