Work/Surfaces
A series of mosaics created by Mattew Lynch and Curtis Goldstein made from laser-cut Formica laminate, a famously durable laminate invented in Cincinnati, OH. Each piece depicts industrial interiors in the Cincinnati region and the diversity of Cincinnati’s workforce. The series is inspired by Winold Reiss’s Industrial Murals, which were completed for Cincinnati’s Union Terminal in the early 1930’s, five of which are part of CVG’s collection.
The series includes ten 90”x90” mosaics with other series’ pieces on display at Cincinnati Art Museum, Cincinnati Museum Center Formica, and Cincinnati Incorporated.
