Joseph Stabilito’s canvases brim with color and energy. Densely layered with poured acrylic paint, swirling gestures, and intricate ink drawings that dance together to create dreamy, poetic compositions. Biometric forms coexist with cybergrids, cells, and other imagery. They are simultaneously macro and micro. Each work opens a unique realm of interpretations, inviting the viewer to delve into the recesses of the artist’s universe. These are paintings that you will get lost in.
Statement
My personal mission as an artist is to make the best paintings I am capable of. It's an ongoing journey of trial and error. I'm influenced by the beauty that I see in nature (the craggy texture of tree bark, the pattern in a network of tangled vines, the riot of color in flowers) that the task is to distill it all down to the meaningful elements that convey an authentic vision. Every painting is a unique conversation with color, composition, and paint. Mistakes along the way can lead to unexpected discovery and growth. I see these works as organic landscapes, a cross pollination of the ugly beautiful. It's a world that I hope the viewer can enter and explore.
