Colour takes on new meaning with Joe's work. He has a bold and daring use of colour with juicy thick application. Growing up in London he moved to Cornwall in 1986. Now a full-time artist Joe sells and exhibits his work in galleries across Cornwall
“I love the freedom to speak my own language when making art,’ describes Joe, “I originally started with brushes, but found that I couldn’t put wet paint on top of wet paint without making the colours go muddy. So, I tried a palette knife and hey presto! Now I use my fingers for most of the painting, then finish off with a palette knife, it all adds to the texture and movement.”
Joe last joined us in 2019 for an excellent demonstration gorgeous colourful woodland paintings. I can't wait to see what he creates for us this year!
