Joseph Coniff

Sometimes contemporary art can be all too serious. Josheph Coniff’s deceptively simple imagery, conveyed through the assemblage of familiar items, making you think and perhaps even make you laugh.

Coniff’s mix of photography and sculpture capture the very essence of the imagination. He work leads, investigates and questions themes, ideas, events that are evident within culture and society, with Coniff’s tongue firmly in his cheek.

“I see my work as ever changing; based on the individuals and/or groups that surround it. Many elements contribute to these changes: the energy, temperament, and disposition of a group or one individual, the space and time in which the work is shown and seen. All have a direct effect on the way an experience transpires.”

His work sets out to alter the viewer’s understanding and knowledge of pre-existing readymade objects. With this in place, one can begin to unravel the works physical layers. The use of recognisable objects act as a starting point, providing the viewer an accessible way of creating and establishing connections within the work.

Joseph Coniff is a breath of fresh air. His use of wit and humour sets his work apart, Coniff is surly one of the most exciting and electrifying young artists. for more information on Joseph Coniff check out his website.
