Artwork Description

As I am also a sculptor, I really like to draw the sculptures that I create. This is a drawing of a painted wooden sculpture I made, being a completely different medium I am able to free up the way I work. By drawing or painting a sculpture I give the work a completely new personality, hence the title: Masking. I find the process very exciting as well as the work that it creates. This is the fourth work in this series.

Artist Bio

Inspired by Tribal Art, Cubism and Graffiti amongst other artforms, Joel creates work which is raw in style but refined in its finish. His sculptures are assemblages of curious shapes which create compositions with personality and depth. Joel’s paintings are an amalgamation of styles. Using a mixed media approach, his work expresses emotion with loose drawing and colour coupled with more considered mark making.

Joel has been a finalist in several major art prizes within Australia and he exhibits his work throughout Australia.

Living and working in Sydney, Australia. Joel completed his studies at Sydney College of the Arts where he obtained a Bachelor of Visual Arts with First Class Honours. Prior to that he received a Diploma of Fine Arts at Sydney’s Meadowbank TAFE.
