Joe Sola is a Los Angeles-based artist known for his conceptual and often humorous approach to painting, video, and performance. His work challenges the conventions of the art world, frequently incorporating satire, physicality, and unexpected juxtapositions. He has many art works that continue to be exhibited around the world including: Studio Visit (2005) in which he jumped out his studio window crashing through breakaway glass, Portraits: An exhibition in the ear of TIF SIGFRIDS (2013), in which he built a small gallery that fit in his gallerist’s ear, and six microscopic oil paintings which he hung in the gallery, and The Painted Horse by Joe Sola (2015), in which converted the gallery to a collector’s dining room filled with contemporary abstract paintings. For Sola’s contribution he painted a geometric painting directly on a miniature horse which roamed freely in the dining room during gallery hours.
