Joejene's paintings are like poems set to music in dreamlike worlds where gentleness is the common thread. Joejene uses graphic cues to guide us through his world, making us navigate his paintings with glee. Favoring the application of soothing colors, his new series of works on canvas and paper demand more than a glance. It's a contemplation akin to meditation. His language enchants us, and his magic opens the door to absolute freedom. Amazed by the beauty of nature, he transmits his joie de vivre and shares his sensitivity with us. The simplicity of his paintings is only apparent, revealing a long-term process that results in rich, eloquent paintings, imbued with playful, light-hearted atmospheres. Joejene's work combines his Asian heritage with his very personal interpretation of life, which he reinvents and presents to us in a visual environment of moving, timeless modernity. He cultivates the imagination.

Joejene graduated from the Manila School of Fine Arts in the Philippines. He immigrated to Canada in 2006 and has been painting ever since. He has had nearly forty solo and group exhibitions to his credit. The Salon Art Club is proud and happy to present this new collection of recent works.
