PHIL JOANOU
September 23- October 28, 2008
Reception: October
10, 7-9 PM
Phil Joanou combines the intuitive and the rational
in his paintings that recall the styles of Matisse, Gauguin, and especially
Max Beckmann. Inspired by Italian Renaissance art, the German expressionists,
and popular culture, he incorporates wishes, desires, symbolism, and allegory
into paintings that seem to give new passion to old stories. Joanou sees
art as not a mere reporting of human values, but as an intuitive portrait
of complex psychological situations; he thus paints works that transcend
the specific into broader and more universal meaning. |
