Joe Hedges is an interdisciplinary artist living and working in eastern Washington/western Idaho. Hedges paintings, photographs, and internet art projects explore the links between science and art through the visual language of the experiment and the archive. With a reverence for art history and an enthusiastic interest in the effects of digital technologies on human experience, Hedges’ work melds vocabularies and media in a contemporary fashion.
This is a series of paintings inspired by early American Trompe-l’œil paintings such as those by William Harnett and Spanish Baroque painters such as Francisco de Zurbarán but with ambiguous and everyday objects in unusual situations.
