In his journey from Taormina to Noto, Joe Bloom captures the essence of Sicily in large-scale paintings that reflect the island’s work, land, religion, and daily life. His piece The Old Boys of Santa Maria la Scala depicts real scenes of fishermen from a seaside village near Catania. Using collage techniques, Bloom brings dynamic energy to his works, portraying the movement of society and urban life. His vibrant colors and dazzling light highlight the emotions, relationships, and experiences of men and women. Bloom’s surreal brushstrokes merge reality with dreamlike elements, inviting viewers to experience Sicily through his eyes.
