Visionary works by Joseph Arthur on View at Amy Li Projects

detail, King Dancer by Joseph Arthur

Joseph Arthur works from imagination outward, distributing what feels like spiritual energy across the canvas in startlingly evocative images. His formal approach favors expressive, rhythmic lines and intersecting hues — arrangements that are visually arresting without tipping into decoration. There’s a wealth of subtlety in the work: the ordinary transformed, the familiar made strange.

Arthur’s show Phone Calls From Leviathans is on view at Amy Li Projects, 166 Mott Street, New York, NY. The work rewards seeing in person — reproductions lose the energy and scale that make these paintings land the way they do.
