“Confluence: Recent Work by Bo Joseph and Tim Hussey”
CONFLUENCE unites select works by Tim Hussey and Bo Joseph. Having continued an artistic dialogue since meeting at Rhode Island School of Design over twenty years ago, both artists have influenced the other, often using similar materials and techniques. Like mindedly, Hussey and Joseph utilize deconstructive, chancy techniques such as sanding and scratching so that the painting becomes more than a surface. They both create mixed media works that are colorful and richly textured. Their abstractions are often combined with figurative elements or collage juxtaposed against rich backgrounds. This exhibition is carefully calibrated as a study of the artist relationship best exemplified in their current bodies of work:
“Tim has always had a twisted sense of humor, a great sense of the absurd, countered by a real hunger to find a true self, an authentic personal visual language. His work has always reflected this and it has developed into a very authentic, brutal, dark humored, sometimes erotic, usually surreal, personal language of pure painting.” Bo Joseph
“Watching Bo’s process of layering, taking away and most importantly– thinking and thinking before making a move– marked a shift in my approach to art. It was like watching someone play chess against not only themselves, but art history, materials, tradition and trends. I still use Bo’s work as a benchmark of integrity, wit and depth of process when producing my own work. 20 years later, I’m honored to have our first show together.” –Tim Hussey
