Les Joynes
Dreamer of my dreams (2006)
Michael Steinberg Fine Art presents a new series of paintings by New York-based artist Les Joynes. Painted with rich, opulent colors, Joynes’ works weave references to mythical environments: cavecities, totemic white-feathered birds, and lace-collared creatures that are symbolic of transcendent environments he identifies as middleworlds.

The works are reminiscent of an archaeological excavation where almost-recognized objects are subsumed in multiple strata. One encounters in each of his paintings a complex, fluid and multi-layered universe that teeters on the edge of consciousness and peers towards abstraction.

Les Joynes was born in Southern California. He studied fine art at Central Saint Martins College of Art, London and completed an M.A. Fine Art at Goldsmiths College London in 1997. He is presently researching entropy and formlessness in contemporary art on the doctoral program at Leeds School of Contemporary Art in the UK.

His work has been included in numerous exhibitions including Sandra Bürgel Gallery, Berlin; Nylon Gallery, London; Barbican Concourse Gallery; ArtSee, New York; London; Mizuma Gallery, Tokyo; The Art Center/Art and Culture Foundation, Seoul; Romo Gallery, Atlanta; Alliance Française, Bangkok; the Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney; and Maejima Art Center/AIT Tactical Museum, Japan.
