“Where the Sand Meets the Sea,” Select Paintings by Jospeh Patrick Arnegger

Over the last two decades, Joseph Patrick Arnegger has explored painting, materials and techniques in the classroom, in his own studio and through mentorship. The resulting style pays homage to his family’s history and his own personal memories. ​

Synthesizing issues of realism and abstraction, Arnegger’s work recalls elements of vintage advertising in combination with art historical references. His work is nostalgic for a way of painting, and a way of life, that has vanished. His images of popular culture, from the past, resonate in the artistic awareness of the present. While figures and places in his paintings may appear iconic, for him, the references are personal. They are memories that helped form who he is as a person and an artist.
