Agent X (American, Contemporary). Mater Natura (Blue), edition 5/10, mixed media. Numbered 5/10 at lower left margin. Signed "Agent X" at lower right margin. Agent X's "Mater Natura" presents a mesmerizing composition featuring mirror image silhouettes of two women, standing back-to-back with their torsos arched in a balletic pose. The work presents an enchanting layered effect. Note how the figures' outlines appear to be cut from the print's blue background, thus revealing a Baroque-informed floral pattern behind, replete with wondrous color and imagery, their bodies housing blossoms of so many glorious floral species - irises, chrysanthemums, lilies, daisies, roses, and more - as well as pairs of endearing cherubs. Size: 50" L x 35" W (127 cm x 88.9 cm)

Agent X jumped onto the radar when named as a semi-finalist in the 2011 New York Art Marathon, with multiple international honors that rapidly followed including winning Top Entry in the competitive Curious Art-Pie Show at Curious Duke Gallery, London and being named among '12 Artists to invest in now' by New Blood Art Gallery, London. Currently based in Vancouver, Agent X has exhibited in art meccas around the world including London, Singapore, Los Angeles, Germany, Amsterdam, New York, San Francisco, Spain and Toronto.

Agent X was raised in Connecticut and studied in New Haven and Atlanta before moving to Canada and training at the Art Institute of Vancouver. While his work draws from formal training, his mash-up multimedia style is primarily self-developed. Agent X often combines the ephemera of the past with the glossy world of contemporary magazines and newspapers, adding paint and other mixed media to create images that cleverly critique humanity’s current obsessions and where they are leading us. While presenting a contemporary, urban veneer in his work through influences of music and fashion, sub-layers of his work dive into loaded socio-political subject matter.
