Nathan Slate Joseph creates abstract compositions of pigmented
galvanized steel. Joseph's unique process entails treating metal plates with
pigments and acid, then soldering the squares together, resulting in
overlapping patchwork designs that act as a dialogue between the forces of
Nature and Man and reveal the influences of Abstract Expressionism and Found
Object Art. This tension between the industrial and the natural is just one of
the many contradictions inherent in Joseph's work. Born in Israel, Nathan Slate
Joseph moved to New York in the 1960's, pursuing study at the Art Student's
League, the New School for Social Research, and the Pratt Institute. He was a
compatriot of such influential artists as Larry Rivers and John Chamberlain. His work is in the personal and public
collections of Beth Rudin De Woody; the Johnson & Johnson Collection,
Racine, Wisconsin; and Prudential Insurance, New York, New York. |
