World Peace Event Horizon April 24, 2013

Joe Roberts
"World Peace Event Horizon"
Exhibition: April 24 through May 22, 2013
Opening Reception: Wednesday, April 24th, 7-10pm

Synthesizing painting and drawing with kitschy artifacts, artist Joe Roberts seeks out the codes, messages and patterns
in the natural world that we don't understand, yet just know are there. Every inch of Roberts’ surfaces are handled and
considered, oftentimes in an unpolished manner, but to an ingenious affect. His collaged artwork reads like the maps and
blueprints of order and disorder.

Joe Roberts was born in Madison, Wisconsin. An obsession with comic books, skateboarding, space exploration, and his
experiences with psychoactive substances are an influence on his work. Using anything from crayons and paint, to trash
and cut paper, his art combines humor with a raw and spontaneous aesthetic, creating a world of cartoon imagery laced
with personal symbolism. Roberts has shown in New York, San Francisco, Chicago and Mexico City. He currently lives
and works in San Francisco.

“World Peace Event Horizon,” artwork by Joe Roberts runs April 24 through May 22, 2013, at Fuse Gallery, 93 2nd
Ave (between 5th & 6th Sts, 2nd Ave stop on the F), NYC, NY. The opening reception, on Wednesday April 24, from
