Acrylic on gallery canvas (framed in pine wood).
26x14"
At times in relationships we are stuck. Jammed up. As lovers we can become stuck in places that seem quite ethereal but in fact we are still just stuck…. In a beautiful place. Lovers’ Log Jam is designed to be a visual portrayal of this phenomenon - stuck, in a beautiful place.
Joe Rich is a Toronto based artist. Working in acrylic, ink, spray paint and a variety of mediums Joe primarily paints on canvas and wood. Joe has studied art for the past 18 years and his work has shown in a variety of settings and galleries including the McMichael Gallery and two one person shows. Committed to ongoing education Joe has studied in various settings and institutions, experimenting and painting in a variety of genres - but somehow always returning to nature as a subject matter. Bold. Expressive. Works for the viewer to explore.
ARTIST’S STATEMENT
I see my work as a collaboration between the viewer, the canvas and myself. Within this triad I often see some remarkable and exceptional exchanges take place. I see the art of painting as a behaviour, designed to express feeling and thoughts. I measure each work upon completion with what are best described as the underpinnings of a well executed work and - if satisfied with the outcome - let go of the work for others to contemplate, enjoy and I imagine accept or reject.
