JOE CONCRA

Concra has mastered a language all his own – one of mood and melancholy, reflection and light, of solitude and uncertainty. He chooses his subjects from the realm of the familiar, infusing largely minimalist compositions with the highly representational. Iconic, often singular figures inhabit quiet landscapes of water, sky and twilight, expertly rendered with a classical devotion to craft. Concra succeeds in attaining a sublime balance of form and color, all the while inverting viewers’ perceptions of depth and two-dimensionality, of landscape and still-life. His emotionally fragile canvases carry with them an overwhelming sense of empathy, fate and doubt – and strike at the core of what it truly means to be human.
