When Chaos Meets Control, Joe La Mattina’s Art Thrives

ADVERTISEMENT

Joe LaMattina, a New Jersey artist, stands out as a unique figure, intertwining artistry with emotions through his innovative approach to mixed media art.

Blending drawing, painting, collage, and unconventional materials, LaMattina’s creations defy traditional categorization, inviting viewers into a world where spontaneity and structure coalesce in breathtaking harmony. This dialogue between mediums and techniques forms the core of LaMattina’s artistic process. As he navigates his creations, his hand hovers over the canvas, sometimes guiding, sometimes yielding to the organic flow of the materials.

Each artistic journey begins with drawing and mark-making, a foundational step that lays the groundwork for what will soon become a frenzied exploration of texture, form, and color. What follows is a liberating act of ripping, tearing, scratching, pouring, and splattering—methods that deconstruct the initial canvas into a chaotic landscape of possibilities.

Joe LaMattina’s journey invites us to witness the dance between chaos and control, reminding us that beauty often emerges from the most unexpected combinations. As he continues to push artistic boundaries, LaMattina remains a beacon of creativity, inspiring audiences to explore the limitless possibilities of artistic expression.

Hey there, Pandas! My name is Diana (though some prefer to refer to me as Diane, Deanna, and even Liana sometimes), and I am a Community Post Moderator Lead for Bored Panda. As my position title states, I am one of the people (employed Pandas for bamboo) over here who work with the community side of things on this website to ensure all is well, and while at that, I also help various creators and artists get recognition for the incredible work they do by connecting them to a large worldwide audience. Other than that, outside of work, you can find me brewing a nice cup of coffee, making a pizza from scratch, or baking brownies. I also love traveling, concerts, and cats (heavy on that, because I am a cat mom).
