BIO
Joseph's paintings are candid records of all the thoughts, actions, and time he invested in them. Take one of his works and really take time tracing each mark. Try to count all the different ways the artist sprayed, painted, and dripped paint over it, try to imagine the wild movements he made with his whole body wrestling the canvas. And it's not just paint, too. All of Joseph's works are mixed-media, allowing the surface to build up a thickness with one material on another.
Born in 1975, and raised in New Canaan, CT., Ferm did not discover his need to paint until the winter of 2001. With over 1,000 finished works, on paper, canvas, and wood, his paintings are in public and private collections worldwide, including a recent museum acquisition. Ferm has over 60 solo and group shows to his credit, with a recent solo show @ the Coral Springs museum of art, in south FL.Ferms’ work is used extensively by interior designers, has been seen in design publications in the U.S. and Europe, and can be found on several television shows. Recent design collaborations have seen Ferms work transition onto cycling and other athletic apparel.
