Sylvia Matas is an artist working with images and language resulting primarily in drawings, artist's books, videos, and poetry. Her practice is characterized by an interest in the limits of perception and what lies beyond those limits. Recent work is inspired by the ways technologies like language, clocks, & computers change our brains and alter how we perceive reality. Her work engages with slowness and resists the contemporary pace of the world.

Exhibition venues include the Art Museum at the University of Toronto, Gallery 44, YYZ Artists’ Outlet, Mercer Union (Toronto), The Maclaren Art Centre (Barrie, ON), The Winnipeg Art Gallery, Plug In ICA, School of Art Gallery (Winnipeg), Truck Contemporary Art (Calgary), and the Art Gallery of Regina. Her videos have been screened as part of Nuit Blanche and Images Festival. She received her MFA from the Chelsea College of Art in London, England. Her work is in collections including the Art Gallery of Ontario, Art Windsor-Essex, and the Maclaren Art Centre. She has published 5 artist's books.
