Joseph Conrad-Ferm Mixed Media

Despite having no formal art training, artist Joseph Conrad-Ferm creates compelling paintings and mixed-media works in the tradition of the Abstract Expressionists. The American painter has captured the attention of critics and collectors alike with his intuitive forms, flowing brushstrokes and use of vivid colors. 

Born in 1975 and raised in New Canaan, Connecticut, Conrad-Ferm didn’t explore his artistic side until 2001, when he felt a sudden compulsion to paint. “In late December of that year, in the boiler room of my mother’s basement, with no reference point, I felt compelled to paint,” he has said. 

Since that watershed moment, Conrad-Ferm’s artistic process evolved into creating abstract paintings driven by pure emotion and feeling. “I’ve been able to express the joys and pitfalls of my total life experience, through a language that is universal,” he has said of his work.

To date, Conrad-Ferm has created more than 1,000 finished works on canvas, wood and paper. He has had over 80 solo and group shows to his credit, with exhibitions at the Paul Fisher Gallery and the Coral Springs Museum of Art in Florida, and the Tuleste Factory in New York City’s Chelsea neighborhood. 

Conrad-Ferm’s works are highly sought after by interior designers and abstract art collectors and have been featured in television shows as well as in publications in the United States and Europe. He has also enjoyed collaborations with cycling and athletic apparel brands in recent years. When he isn’t painting, Conrad-Ferm works full-time as a registered critical care nurse.
