Join us for a one-day art pop-up showcasing the recent works of Joe Kossow.Artist statement:
The source material for these works are photographs that date from 1860-1940. I spend a long time editing the photos (changing their scale, eliminating certain elements, working with aspects of dark and light) until I have recomposed the works. I draw as accurately from the edited source material as I can, then take liberties with the brushwork to emphasize elements of light and dark as needed. I love the imaginative narrative inherent in these drawings of wrecked ships, old harbors, town life, people praying or people at a café.
