> The mirror that everyone will talk about. Unique, one of a kind. Biography of the artist Joseph: Since 1985, Joseph has been present on the art scene, influenced by all the popular cultural symbols of his time. He belongs to a new generation of prolific artists that prefers dialogue in opposition to the 70's radicalism. Nourished by the work of his peers, this artist seizes all mediums, particularly through the distortion of old paper medias of our contemporary culture. In this latest series of work, Joseph the artwork assigned to the viewer a place, a function and a power, acting as a setting in abyss because the viewer sees through it. The work undertaken in this direction, by the use of text instead of images, sending a trigger signal to the visitor, giving them the intuition of what they see... Tags: mirror, colored, multicolor, french artist, blah-blah Joseph is a conceptual mixed-media artist born in Paris in 1961. Trained in architecture at EDPI and graphic arts at Sornas, Joseph eventually found his true passion at the prestigious École des Beaux-Arts studying painting and design. He developed his formal training into a striking combination of metalwork and mixed media abstraction. In his latest series of creations, Joseph's pieces directly confront the viewer with mirrored steel and cut-out words, an abstract landscape of concrete and color beneath the surface. The engaging nature of the work, using text rather than images, propels his audience into dialogue with the artist. The phrases often challenge social expectations, accepted ideas of normalcy, and sharp reminders of our most human vulnerabilities.
