David Joseph
As a found object artist, David Joseph draws directly from his background as an engineer, physician and inventor in creating his works, breathing exciting secondary utility into forgotten domestic relics and antique pieces. His art varies between vibrant and minimalistic, blending the balanced composition of an artist with the skilled construction of an engineer and the anatomic eye of a physician. They encourage viewers to look past individual components and see the creature or concept as a cohesive whole first. The magic lies in the shift in perspective as a viewer transitions from seeing the whole to identifying the everyday or vintage items used to construct the piece. His art is both whimsical and thought-provoking, often including a (sometimes hidden) commentary on societal issues.
