Born in New York in 1958, Joe Ginsberg received his early foundation in art starting at the age of 4, drawing non-stop on books, napkins and miscellaneous items before pursuing formal training in New York. He began to develop his personal style, creating paintings and drawings that show the influence of New York urban life, politics, human existence in conflict with the dreamlike balance of the natural elements surrounding him, often letting his art move him, subconsciously, allowing his hand free to visualize. “My art flows and has no boundaries; it explores the things we look at each day, the visual shorthand of contemporary culture”. Joe Ginsberg started experimenting with materials, art mediums and nature herself, free in expression, triggering his mind by tapping into a part of the subconscious that brings an element of surprise, activating the urge for further experimentation and innovation, while transcending the boundaries of artistic disciplines. He began to expose his work to the natural elements: winds, tides, sun, earth and fluctuating temperatures, giving him the ability to produce the captivating quality he refers to as “Electric Nature”. In the 1980’s, he started working in metal, stone, glass and fabric, continuously drawing and painting every process. Joe Ginsberg continues to evolve producing an extensive number of paintings, drawing and public commissions.
