  • Art Forum Review of "Full Length" at Allston Skirt Gallery by Francine Koslow Miller

    Check out the November issue of Art Forum for a great review of "Full Length." Francine Koslow Miller writes her impression of the show, here is a small excerpt from the opening paragraph:

    "After five years of painting on guitars and two and a half years of portraying musicians, Boston's Joe Wardwell staged his own rock/art 'concert' of sorts. The artist paired his new raucous, romantic oil paintings and the elegant drawings that make up his 'Heavy History,' 2006, with a handpainted electric guitar finished in gold leaf and a vintage phonograph playing his latest vinyl album, Full Length, 2006, which showcases his rasping, guttural voice, booming bass-playing and drumming, and boisterous guitar riffing."

  • Full Length Opens! Review in the Boston Globe!

    "Full Length" Opened on September 8th, 2006! There was a large loud crowd and the music was even louder! everyone seemded very pleased, I know that I am, as well as the wonderful ladies at Allston Skirt. They did a super great job in helping me hang, arrange, and support the show. A special thanks to them and everyone else who came to see it opening night!

    Today, September 14th, Cate McQuiad reviewed the show in the Boston Globe calender section. Check it out when you get a chance. I will put the whole article on the website when it reaches the internet. As for now, run to your local newstand today!

  • 2006 Allston Skirt show!

    In September of 2006, Allston Skirt will open their season with a solo show of my work. In this power chord of an exhibit, there will be: brand new paintings, never shown drawings, an intaglio print done with Wingate studios in Northfield, MA, a painted plugged in guitar, and if that isn't enough a full length album! Yes, indeed, I have talked the talk, now it is time to rock the Rock! I have hand-printed 100 record jackets recorded 10 songs and printed them to vinyl. This is a limited edition print with a limited edition vinyl record to match! Don't miss out!
