ART THAT INSPIRES

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Creative Mission

The hunger and brokenness of humanity. The desire for wholeness in a struggling world. The yearning of the human soul for completeness and love.

These are themes artist J. Joseph Hart wrestles with in his creative process. Having lived and worked for many years in the arena of human illness and life transition, Mr. Hart endeavors to bridge human struggle with the possibility of fulfillment, of disappointment with the promise of new beginnings. This quest is accomplished through one source, the journey of the human condition, the story of the human heart with its hopes, fears, disappointments, promises and ultimately a desire for another. The human spirit at its core has the ability to change while overcoming fear, to risk completeness while facing failure, to seek its own discovery while tempting transformation.

Mr. Hart negotiates these these through color and contrasting muted shapes. He seeks to create new images that exchange life and spirituality. He strives to negotiate nature’s primal elements of color to fashion a unique vision of spiritual humanity. Humans possess the capacity to associate and create ideas and relationships. This is the purpose of art; to express the procreative nature of spirituality and life in concert with all of creation.
