Abstraction may have been
the primary innovation of Modernism but it is an image methodology dating back
to the earliest examples of human innovation.
There are echoes of others within Jennifer Joseph's
works. It's an informed educated aesthetic. Late Modernists that came to mind
included Tony Tuckson, Colin McCahon, Rosalie Gascoigne, Robert Rauschenberg and Cy Twombly.
Individually within the small works installation, each
work is constructed with such finesse and suggestion that they evoked pure joy for
the painter within me. Every work hovers on its own unique outcome. The speed
of a brush stroke at the base of a composition, the proportions of what seems a
found lump of wood with dribbles on the side that make the face of the painting
work. It's a masterful collection.
Joseph works at night and the sombre light in her
paintings cast a unique tone and mood over her personal iterations.
The two large works in the show are outstanding
examples of Australian Abstraction. They are quite simply world class painting.

'To see these works of a particular period brought together for the first time has been a significant experience for me and I sincerely hope for the viewers, too.
Three paintings in the exhibition are repainted versions of works that were damaged beyond repair some time ago by flood. These works were originally painted in London in 1963/64, before “The Field” exhibition that shocked the Australian Art World. They were a particular geometric design which I was able to repaint.
I am pleased to revisit these works in the exhibition after 60 years and seeing them stand up to the test of time.' Ron Robertson-Swann, February, 2024.
