Matthew Bober, born in Elizabeth, New Jersey in 1978, began his artistic training in 1994, studying painting in New York City at the National Academy of Design, the School of Visual Arts, and the Art Students League. Early in his career, he worked as an illustrator before joining the studio of Jeff Koons, where he spent more than a decade contributing to many of Koons’ most prominent paintings of the period. This experience honed Bober’s technical precision and deepened his understanding of contemporary painting on a monumental scale.
For the past fifteen years, Bober has turned his focus primarily to still life, a genre that allows him to explore the subtleties of light, form, and atmosphere with both rigor and sensitivity. His paintings often reflect a quiet intensity, balancing traditional techniques with a contemporary sensibility. His work has been exhibited in group shows across the United States and has found a consistent home at Robert Lange Studios in Charleston, South Carolina, where his meticulous approach and meditative subject matter continue to resonate with collectors and viewers alike.
