Joe Andoe
B.1955, American

Joe Andoe’s body of work includes paintings, drawings, videos, and writings. His figurative painting is almost exclusively monochrome. He uses a reductive technique where he covers the entire canvas with thick black oil paint and then wipes it off with his hands or a paper towel, bringing images out of the darkness. The result is a slightly evanescent effect, an enigmatic and texturally minimalistic painting. His subjects – flowers, landscapes, roadsides, cows and calves, and totemic animals such as horses, wolves and bears – are symbols of a powerful, idealized and obsolete America. Although those subjects are unmistakably drawn from the American vernacular, it is evident that beyond the banal and the everyday, Andoe is also engaged in depicting the sublime and the spiritual. He has the ability to detect the idiosyncratic appeal of the most mundane and simple sources and to employ them in the reflection on art. Andoe has fused post-modern figurative painting with views rooted in the Old West. His works evoke the days when cowboys and their loyal horses flashed across the big screen at the drive-in, and the world was still black and white. His universe has emerged as one great depiction of the American spirit and its iconography. He is not an ironic artist, and he is not satirizing the old days – on the contrary, he keeps thinking about them. The strong faces of wolves and horses that gaze directly at him as he coaxes them to life are both here and not here. That is where the poignancy resides in his work, in his pursuit of an absence. ...
