Joe Piscopia 'Quite a Turnaround'
“Quite a Turnaround” , watercolor and gouache on 300gm watercolor paper, 12 x 9 inches, 2021
Artist Statement
Many images develop from unconsciously drawing and sketching as a daily practice, or at times from a single word that can be a catalyst to develop into a painting. These amorphous shapes are rendered and fleshed out with tone, light and shadow taking on surreal elements. As the reality of life can be found in many variations and emotions passing in a single moment of a day, the work can be seen as illuminations of these consequences of feelings or idea’s that have affect. Underscoring this theme the work is an attempt of a documentation of images as unreal abstractions.
