“Yellow Painting” 2013, acrylic on linen on stretcher, 102 x 107 cm

“Joseph Marioni is one of the foremost contemporary exponents of a modern tradition in painting that has its roots in the Abstract Expressionism of the New York School. Seamlessly integrating the liquid paint of Jackson Pollock, the intense colour of Rothko and Newman, and the sensuous physicality of Clyfford Still, Marioni's exquisite light-infused paintings demonstrate the ongoing vitality of an art grounded in the ‘truth to materials’ dictates of Modernism and the concentrated act of looking.”
