///JOSEPH ODDO : PAINTING
Location: San Francisco, CA
Joe is a long-time resident of the San Francisco Bay area and a self-described "traditionalist" painter. He studied at the California School of Fine Arts and became interested in the figurative aspect of painting during the 1960's. After teaching in rural schools for the Nevada Arts Council and painting high desert landscapes, he returned to California and, through his art, began to explore the urban landscapes of Oakland and San Francisco as well as the popular Bay Area sport of skulling. He continues to refine his painting technique and says that by questioning his use of subject, color and drawing, a painting "logic" emerges which he cannot articulate before he begins, but one that results from a long, intuitive visual struggle.
