Works by Canadian Abstract Artist Joseph Giunta:
In his mixed media paintings Canadian abstract artist Joseph Giunta used everyday found objects and integrated them into his works to make beautiful and unique abstract collage paintings.
Giunta's abstract art included a large number of mixed media collages which include a large variety of items including string, wire, wood, buttons, nails, metal mesh, felt, hats, jewelry, cardboard, shoes, ceramics, cloth, paper, foil wrappers, peanut shells, candies, plaster, drawings, paints, pastels, charcoals, markers and much more.
As a Canadian Abstract Artist the function of every object was diverted to the sole benefit of the abstract painting in progress. Giunta's abstract mixed media collages developed through the successive differentiation of their new parts. He departed from one element, added a second which called for a third, the relationship of the first three leading to a forth, and so on.
