About

Don Joint (b. 1956) is an interdisciplinary artist and curator who lives and works in New York and Bath, England. Born in Pennsylvania, Joint studied at the Maryland Institute College of Art and the Chautauqua Institute. Joint’s work often employs an ancient literary device, Ekphrasis, in which a work of art is vividly represented, reimagined or described within another work of art of a different medium. Joint’s utilization of this working method enables him to transcribe abstracted elements of composition and detail from the original work creating a new visual language identifiable to modern day viewers. Joint does this working in acrylic and oil, mixed media assemblage or collage, photography, and other various media.

Joint's work can be found worldwide and in the permanent collections of the Baltimore Museum of Art, the Cleveland Museum of Art, the Akron Art Museum, the Toledo Museum of Art, and the Oklahoma Museum of Art.
