Joseph Drapell

Joseph Drapell (Born 1940) is active/lives in Ontario / Canada.  Joseph Drapell is known for Abstract painting.

Part of a movement called "New New Painters," Joseph Drapell is a self-styled independent and rejects many of the prevalent trends in contemporary art such as cultural criticism and questioning of gender and identity.  The "New News" aritsts work with a confidence merely in the value and autonomy of aesthetic experience, and they are not afraid to explore their own souls.  He, like the others in the movement, uses custom-made reflective paints and advanced gels.

Of his painting Drapell says: "Abstraction will probably always remain my main means of expression. But for my future expression I do not rule out anything. Finding new ways of representation has always lured me, as long as the result is honest, inventive and good." (Sykorova)

The big introductory exhibition of the "New News" was at the Shippee Gallery in New York in the late 1980s.
