THE OFFICE. art gallery is proud to present group exhibition, In Bloom, featuring New York artist, Joe Garvey, and Miami native, Jason Seife. The exhibition pilots a new series of paintings and structural subjects by Joe Garvey and Jason Seife, focusing on botanical subject matter. The two artists take different approaches to their floral works. Seife’s hyper-realistic paintings mesmerize the viewer with their powerfully detailed and enhanced floral subjects. Joe Garvey’s soothing nature-infused paintings are marked by hints of abstract expressionist matter that operates in concert with thoughtful use of negative spaces.

Summary | Joe Garvey
Nature and color permeate every aspect of Joe Garvey’s work. The New York artist’s bright and soothing nature-full paintings are marked by imperfect botanic subject matter that operates in concert with thoughtful negative spaces. The outcome carries several purposeful mistakes in which Garvey plants, which the viewer can interpret as a sign of Garvey’s archetypal imagery.
