ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Enamel, latex, and spray paint on stretched canvas. Signed and dated on back. From the press release for EGOMYSTICAL solo exhibition: "The pandemic makes an appearance in the large canvas Masked Spirit - in which a giant face rendered with thick lines of dripping metallic gold ink looks out from the picture plane into the collective eye; it’s mouth and nose covered with a Covid mask." I worked on this piece for over a year, starting with my favorite deep violet/blue, then adding 3 colors of spray paint in quick loose gestures. Over this I covered the picture plane with a web of improvised line-work in black enamel, then covering that layer with the face in gold. The figure in this piece represents the collective spirit of humanity, now covered in the ubitiquos mask which has become a part of our daily lives (perhaps permanently). Behind the large figure smaller human faces peer in and out of the cosmic soup of existence.

Joshua Gabriel
United States
Joshua Gabriel is a New York based artist, musician, and graphic designer whose work combines drawing, video projection, murals, music, and performance. jG updates the aesthetic of psychedelia to create a kind of hybrid space in which a mythologized version of his own ego, constructed of variable disposable personae, is at the center. Drawing on his experiences as a visual artist and musical performer in the New York underground, his work leans towards spectacle, drawing on sacred objects and readymades, projecting onto walls, and combining the abstract and figurative in a riot of color. Born and raised in Philadelphia, jG received his BFA from the Tyler School of Art, and his MFA from Brooklyn College. Joshua Gabriel has created large scale murals throughout New York City and has exhibited and performed in the United States.
