Feeding Time, 2007, acrylique, cut paper collage on paper
Joe Pendergast creates intricately layered paintings with stenciled flora and fauna. Ornamentation, bright color and fluid brushwork characterize his work. He credits traveling and living abroad as particularly influential to his symbolic, decorative imagery.
Born in Louisiana, U.S.A. in 1967, Pendergast began studies in art at an early age. He recieved a B.F.A. in painting from University of Texas at Austin, and an M.F.A. in painting with distinct honor from Pratt Institute. His work was featured in a solo exhibition at the recently opened Galerie Hors-Jeu in Geneva, Switzerland in September 2004.
He is currently living and working in Brasil.
