Joe Machine

Until May 24 2013

Joe Machine is an English writer, painter and naturalist known for his uncompromising depictions of the human condition and adherence to the principles of psychodynamics within his work.

His work generally falls into three categories: Self confrontation, nature and spirituality, drawn from the Hebrew Kabbalistic tradition. His love of nature is embodied by his haunting, beautiful and evocative paintings of the Kent countryside where he spends time walking in the hills and ancient woodlands of the locality.
This is contrasted by the work drawn from his past which is distinguished by the ethic of never painting anything he has not directly experienced. This grants his audience a unique perspective into the life of a man who has evolved from violence and crime through an inner journey to being one of the most original artists of his era.
Joe Machine is one of the original founding members of the first re-modernist art group, The Stuckists formed in 1999.

He has exhibited paintings internationally and his work has been acquired by some of the foremost art collectors in Europe.
He continues to write and paint in his birth place, the former naval port of Chatham in north Kent.
