Absent Drift Painting

Jo Moloney is an artist based in Naarm/Melbourne, Australia. Her hard-edged geometric abstractions reflect on the legacy of twentieth century modernist traditions, part art history, part imagined history, where she reworks utopic and universal formations into discreet, obsessive, and often very personal paintings. Jo has a background in commercial photography, where her eye for composition and technical acuity led her to work on film and television sets as a unit stills photographer. Her photographs have been featured in Marie Claire magazine and formed the backbone of marketing campaigns for Australian artists and bands, and published in The Age, The Sydney Morning Herald, Vault and Island magazine.
