Painting

Jon-Joseph believes the real value to art is the power to communicate human experience to the viewer and evoke a deeper awareness of oneself and their environment. He uses the subject of figure and landscape thematically. Mankind has a collective memory, which each viewer, through introspection can interpret the work's message in a personally evocative way. Painting and drawing also explore a full range of surfaces, line quality, media, ultimately to give weight, and sculptural space. Use of color is to evoke the powers of emotions. Drawing is essential to study anatomy, and develop ideas for the other arts.
