Don Joint "Waldameer"
Pavel Zoubok Gallery
This event has ended.
Don Joint’s newest series, Waldameer, is a visual return to the artist’s boyhood memories of the historic Pennsylvania amusement park of the same name (the tenth oldest in America). Joint’s gestural washes of paint and ink create a magical atmosphere, a floating world in which carnivalesque images of clowns, toys, animals, rides and games combine with visual evocations of Japanese culture –– a poetic conceit inspired by the artist’s childhood musings on the phrase “Made in Japan”, stamped onto every colorful toy prize won at the amusement park.
