THE END OF THE WORLD (REALLY BUILT TO LAST) is Paris-based artist Matthew Rose’s latest surreal fantasy about the fragility of world we live in and the end of the world we’ve built.

Based on an original collage from 2008, THE END OF THE WORLD, reports from the frontiers of the real and dream worlds, where foods and animals, naughty little boys and errant little girls enter into the visual field and run, jump, hang and float in and around an assortment of human narratives that are veering dangerously out of control.

This work, and others in the series, will appear in Masters of Collage (Lark Press, USA) in May 2010.
