OPENING RECEPTION
SUNDAY NOVEMBER 7, 2010 1PM-5 PM
Joe Coffey was born in Caledon East, Ontario; his early years were spent on the family farm. He presently resides in Victoria, B.C. where he devotes his time to his art.
Joe is a self taught artist; he has been called prodigious for his drafting technique. His domestic animals and figurative works evoke strong emotional response through their atmospheric qualities and visual strength. The subjects of the works are silent witnesses to the world and of our own consciousness.
"Life just seems so full of connections. Most of the time we don't even pay attention to the depth of life. We only see flat surfaces." Colin Neenan
"In a world older and more complete then ours they move finished and complete, gifted with extensions of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear." The Outer Most House by Henry Beston.
