Title NORTH. SOUTH & HOME Medium
Vitreous enamel, Size
33 x 42 inches each panel Date 2010 Location Philipse Manor Station, New York Joseph’s
inspiration for this design comes from historic dutch tiles, and the
tradition of elaborate entrances of great train stations in Europe,
especially the art nouveau design in the Paris subway. Yet, he adds an
contemporary artisan feel with the uneven curvaceous wild branches. The
tree shape comes from his imagination, the round blooms are an
abstraction of geranium flowers, and the curvy branches intentionally
look like Victorian gates, relating to Victorian homes in Westchester.
The blue tree is placed over a gradient orange-yellow background, a
beautiful color combination that creates a contrast to make this read
easily from afar. |
