| Bo Joseph explores archetypal mythologies and metaphysical interdependencies to create layered abstract drawings, paintings and small bronze cast sculptures. He borrows imagery of ritualistic idols and fetish objects; but rather than empower these icons further, his process “undefines” their purpose and intent. Through a precipitous method of painting, sanding, washing and scraping various medias Joseph constantly delineates and then blurs his images. Layering multiple stencils produces new and unexpected results, which in turn are fodder for more visual “questioning.”
A graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design, Joseph has exhibited throughout the United Stated. His work is in the collections of the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art, Kansas City, MO; The Springfield Museum of Art, Springfield, OH; and the Guilin Art Museum, Guilin, China. Joseph lives and works in New York City. |
