Artist Statement

          My artwork is about inter-connectivity. The metaphysical energy that encompasses and intertwines all things animate and inanimate and is intrinsic to them, to us. These ideas and experiences are essential to my conceptual approach. The intellectual and expressive disciplines and entities intertwined are a huge influence to me. The range of influences is vast and can include anything from string theory, color theory, activity, and many more.

          My visual language has developed over the years through a plethora of endeavors. My visual language incorporates the gesture and aesthetics of graffiti, the geometry of architecture, and living on the plane of existence and moving, traveling, resting on the horizon as well as the underground, and the celestial realms. The voyage of the self in these and being inter-connected within them is the epitome of my expression. There are different motivations and stories for each piece but ultimately through what I refer to as obsessive abstraction of interconnectivity I prefer for the viewer to determine what you see.

BUNKER is a group art show/pop up project that I began at my residence when I lived in the Bushwick area of Brooklyn from 2006-2015. The first show was titled "BUNKER" and took place 6/2014. The link for the website dedicated to the shows is below. There were four shows in total and were meant to develop

community. You can check out the websites I designed for the shows here BUNKER

Artist Bio

Joe grew up in New Brunswick, NJ. At an early age he became involved in skateboarding, punk rock, hardcore, techno, heavy metal, hip hop, and graffiti, and their at time separate and yet other times intertwining scenes. He was involved in all of those music scenes in New Jersey and in NYC promoting shows, DJing, and just helping people do theirs and do his DIY projects, showing support and love. As well as working construction for almost a decade he has also worked as a graphic designer. These two jobs have also influenced his style. Joe lived in NYC initially in 1997 and moved back to NJ to go to school at Rutgers/Mason Gross School of the Arts in 2000. He attained his B.F.A. and M.F.A. from there including numerous awards finishing in 2006. He then moved back to NYC and lived in Brooklyn for 10 years. Joe currently lives in NJ and works as an art handler during the day.

Other Skills

                I have a wide range of experiences in many areas from being a spur of the moment roadie for bands, an extra in T.V. commercials and on a couple television shows, as well as small roles in independent films to doing graphic design for album and CD artwork to singing back-up vocals on punk rock records. I also DJed for quite a while on the radio, in the clubs, and abandoned warehouse raves. I have also written record reviews for different types of electronic music for the fanzine Base 10 magazine while also doing a couple of electronic music projects over the years. All of this and many others were and are still enjoyed amidst writing graffiti and doing street art for over twenty years, which I still do, or do I?
