Biography
I started PAINTING in the late 60s, studied on an INDEPENDENT BASIS, for about 10 years. I decided I would like to study further in an ACADEMIC basis and iwon a place in DUNDEE ART COLLEGE,77 to 81 and later 81 to 84 ROYAL ACADEMY SCHOOLS LONDON. Since the early 80s i explored and developed various THEMES and IDEAS based on our FEARS, HOPES and DESIRES in LIFE. Iv used many SYMBOLS and METAPHORS to enhance this and to create MYSTERY, DRAMA and AMBIGUITY.
Over my working YEARS Iv accumulated a large LIBRARY of IDEAS and IMAGERY which IM still using and introducing in varied visual developing way, which I find excites me as a PRACTICING PAINTER. RECENT conflicts in SYRIA, the UKRAINE, COVID and GLOBAL WARMING have also given me further visual challenges.

Reviews and comments
DEAR JANUSZ, THANKS for SELECTING MY PAINTING for YOUR PERSONAL ART COLLECTION. KEEP PAINTING...
Bonjour Joseph, merci pour le choix de ma toile.
The BARBARIC WAR and inhumane treatment of the UKRAINIAN PEOPLE led me to do a SERIES on the HORROR which goes on, on a DAILY basis. I use the 3 BIRDS as SYNBOLS of FREEDOM...
Cycling plays an important part in my work: Iuse many ideas from people I meet and see as well as the beauty of NATURE which Iv experienced in the UK, ISLE of MAN, NORMANDY,FRANCE and SPAIN...
EXHIBITING " RAIN" at FIDRA FINE ART GULLANE EAST LOTHIAN, SCOTLAND from MAY to JUNE 2022 along with "THE PROTECTOR" both in CHARCOAL, from a SERIES of CHARCOALS on the THEME of LOVE ...then onto SERIES in OILS, worked on for about 8 YEARS...
Un grand merci pour la petite visite et l'ajout de La fille du tapissier !
Excellent ! Very beautiful job!!👏👏👏
