Some people couldn’t see what it was but if you stood from it at the right distance it was easy to see the face in it. Squinting also helped.
I spoke to Joe in his space at Blender Studios.
Corky Blog: I loved your painting with the dots at the exhibition. Who is in the painting?
Joe: Maddy. She used to hang out in the studio. She had a space over there. (gestures toward area near staircase)
Corky Blog: how did you get the dots on the paper? Were they sprayed on?
Joe: No. It’s dye. Each drop is placed on the paper
Corky Blog: Oh.
The dye placed on the paper bleeds out unevenly giving the painting a shimmering effect that I really liked. Can you tell me do you grid up pieces like this in photoshop?
Joe: No. I guess I could do it like that but I do it by eye.
Below is a new work Joe is working on - a stunning portrait of General Braddock.
