About the Item
Summer is Joanne Mattera’s time to work on paper. When she is fully engaged, as she has been with Riz, that time slides well into autumn. These are paintings on paper, oil and wax on thick and velvety 300-lb Fabriano hot press, each 14.25 x 14.25 inches. The field is bisected horizontally, with a top half of layered bands of color over a bottom half that at first glance appears more or less monochrome. Look closely, however, and you’ll see subtle striations of color or a surface built up from multiple applications of related hues. There are 40 paintings in the series, which was made in 2020.
Working serially allows Mattera to develop a number of chromatic ideas, each discrete, which converse well in groupings and grids. The perimeter of each painting presents a complementary, or complimentary, hue, thus enlivening the color field and moving the eye from painting to painting.
Joanne Mattera paints in a style that is luminous and reductive, exhibiting a textile sensibility she inherited from a family of weavers and tailors. “Early on I denied that association. I took my painting in a different, grid-based direction until I realized that the interstices of warp and weft and the rectilinearity of the modernist grid are not, in fact, so different.” With that insight, her work became more actively referential to textiles while remaining assertively painterly. With their formal exploration of hue and surface, her juicy little paintings are nevertheless suggestive of iridescent textiles.
Joanne Mattera works in a style that is chromatically resonant and compositionally reductive. Widely represented and exhibited, she has had solo shows in New York City at the Stephen Haller Gallery (1995) and OK Harris Works of Art (1996, 2007). Her 35th career solo, From Dawn to Dusk, took place at ODETTA in Manhattan late in 2019. She participates in curated exhibitions with American Abstract Artists in New York City and elsewhere, most recently Blurring Boundaries: The Women of American Abstract Artists, 1937-Present at the South Bend (Indiana) Museum of Art.
Her work is included in Geoform, an international online project curated by the artist Julie Karabenick, which is focused on contemporary geometric abstraction.
Joanne's work is in the collections of the New Britain Museum of American Art, Connecticut; Montclair Art Museum, New Jersey; Connecticut College Print Department; University Collections at the University of Albany; Wheaton College, Norton, Mass.; the U.S. State Department, Washington, D.C.; and institutional and private collections internationally.
In addition to her studio practice, Joanne writes regularly and curates when opportunities present. Her memoir, Vita: Growing Up Italian, Coming Out, and Making a Life in Art, was published in 2019 by Well-Fed Artist Press in New York City. Through her Joanne Mattera Art Blog she reports on art shown in New York City and offers curated exhibitions, most recently a multipart series focused on art made during and about the Covid pandemic.
Curatorial projects include Textility in 2012 at the Visual Arts Center of New Jersey, Summit, which she produced with the institution’s curator, Mary Birmingham; projects at the Rice Polak Gallery in Provincetown in 2011 and 2012; A Few Conversations About Color at DM Contemporary in Manhattan in 2015; and Depth Perception in 2017 at the Cape Cod Museum of Art, Dennis, Massachusetts, which she curated with Cherie Mittenthal in conjunction with the 11th International Encaustic Conference.
Joanne is the founder and director emerita of the International Encaustic Conference, an event devoted to a contemporary medium with a historic past. Relatedly, she is the author of the first commercially published book on encaustic in half a century, The Art of Encaustic Painting: Contemporary Expression in the Ancient Medium of Pigmented Wax (Watson-Guptill, 2001).
Joanne divides her time between Manhattan and Massachusetts.
