Joseph Adolphe
A Blessing

2023

About the Item

Joseph Adolphe moved to New York City in 1992 to attend the School of Visual Arts where he received his MFA in 1994. He has received several awards for his art, including First Place in the “Figure Now 2010” Competition at Fontbonne University in St. Louis, Missouri. His work has been featured in over forty exhibitions since 1998 throughout America and internationally. He now lives with his wife and children in New Haven, Connecticut and is a professor of Fine Arts at St. John’s University in New York. Joseph Adolphe’s oil paintings depict uncertainty, anxiety and vulnerability in the modern day. Whether they are beaten down fighters, agile beasts or innocent children, his subjects appear burdened by conflict and the weight of the world. Nonetheless, they are strong, resilient characters, as their confidence and bravery give the paintings an undeniable optimism even when the subject is dark. “Toro Bravo”, Adolphe’s debut solo exhibition at BDG was a resounding success. In the summer of 2012, his painting, Mars No. 1, was chosen for the cover of Manifest Gallery’s International Painting Annual, and Joseph Adolphe and his work will be featured in the upcoming feature length documentary, HEAVYWEIGHTPAINT. Joseph Adolphe’s paintings are held in many private and corporate collections in the U.S. and abroad
