Joseph Marioni

Background

Joseph Marioni was born in 1943 in Cincinnati, Ohio, United States.

Education

Joseph Marioni received Doctor of Fine Arts Honorary, presented in 2010 by the Art Academy of Cincinnati.

Career

Marioni has catalogued his work beginning in 1970. This is the point at which he found his identity as a painter and his work became independent of his student work.

His acrylic on linen "liquid light" paintings are layered with multiple hues (instead of just one, like with other "monochrome painters"). Examples of his works are "Blue Painting", "Green Painting", and "Red Painting #13" among others.

He has appeared in numerous solo and group exhibitions throughout the United States and Europe.

Marioni lives and works in New York City since 1972.

Achievements

• Marioni is the recipient of the Berwanger Award, presented in 1997 by His Grace Clarence Rufus J. Rivers.
  
  Besides, there are more than 60 paintings in public collections in the United States and Europe and approximately 560 paintings in private collections in the United States, Europe, Japan, and Australia.

Views

Marioni denies tags such as "monochrome" or "color field". He reacts to the late modernist formalism by placing emphasis on the role of the viewer.
