Artist Statement:
In June 2010 Joe graduated
from UWE in Bristol with a
degree in Fine Art. Although
his artwork is primarily based
around painting, Joe is
equally experienced in
photography and sculpture.
These three disciplines result
in artworks which have
physical, tactile and
aesthetic presence.
Joe never feels intimidated by
a blank canvas; he equates his
work with that of exposed
negatives - latent images
awaiting development. The
application and removal of
paint, coupled with the
interaction between differing
mediums, produce a multitude
of diverse qualities in his
work. The varying processes
that Joe adopts drive each
work in a different direction.
The resulting surface is as
important as the work itself.
Joe’s response to the way
paint behaves and the use of
multiple layering contribute
to the richness found on and
under the surface. Painting on
a large scale gives him
freedom of movement and allows
these layers to come to life.
His natural inquisitiveness
and fondness for
experimentation, combined with
a logical approach to his
work, produce artwork which is
varied in nature. Joe says, ‘I
am happiest when I am actually
painting, when both myself and
the surface of the canvas are
physically animated; I spend
the rest ...
