Joe Rolella Australian, b. 1972

Overview
Born in Sydney in 1972, Joe Rolella completed a Bachelor of Visual Arts (Honours) in 1994 and went on to obtain a Masters in Visual Arts at the University of Western Sydney in 1998.
 
Rolella has exhibited consistently for the past twelve years both nationally and internationally. He has won several major art prizes including the Australian Cricket Art Prize in 2011 for the painting "Cricket at Kandahar". The Oakhill Grammer School Art Prize in 2013 as well as being selected as a semi-finalist for the prestigious Doug Moran Portrait Prize.
 
Complex and contradictory, Rolella's recent abstract paintings seek to expose a delicate equilibrium between a sense of balance and visual calm and the tumult of painterly texture and surface tension. The play of light at the waters edge.
