"BASQUIAT" Abstract Painting 36 x36 inch by Ty Joseph

2019

“An art that is a quest through vibrant symbolic visuals of the artist’s identity.” Ty Joseph was born Tal Ezra Joseph in Hamburg, Germany, and grew up in Kfar Saba, Israel. After his service in the Israel Navy, he spent two years touring America as a musician before finding a true home in Los Angeles. In the past decade, he pursued his education, a career in real estate, and zestful nightlife before returning to his first love, art. While influenced by Pop Art, with its bold, eye-catching images, Ty’s work is also an intrinsic desire to express individuality, elegance, and social interactions by applying symbolic overtones. Working with vivid, distinct colors on large canvases, Ty infuses his sense of identity into each of his works with signature sweeps of L-shaped patterns. When viewed from a distance, these patterns create as illusion of unity that, upon closer inspection, reveal a much more complex, multi-faceted image, much like the idea of individuality itself. Ty lives and works from his residence in Hollywood, California.
