Joe Novak is an internationally-recognized abstract artist whose career spans over thirty years. His work has been shown throughout the United States, England, and Germany. He has degrees from New York University, Dartmouth College, Parsons School of Design, and a Juris Doctorate from Harvard University. Currently, Mr. Novak lives and works in Palm Springs, California but lived in Santa Fe for many years prior to his move.
He calls his method “abstract excursions” of color and light focused on monochrome and tonal gradations. His last show at Zane Bennett Contemporary Art was called Colors and was part of his series of 350 small-scale monochrome panels in a range of colors. The upcoming show, Color Dimensions juxtaposes the previous exhibition because it focuses on select large-scale painterly canvases. The goal is to evoke a meditative quality. In Mr. Novak’s own words, he explains: “I have created programmed sequences of variable color and light movements and configurations, the effects of which extend the visual experience of painting to include the elements of time, movement and change.”
