About the artist
Joel produces three-dimensional collages using pieces of found materials and everyday objects. His inventive use of what he finds manifests itself in architectural and figurative models. Often surprising and very imaginative, it is possible to see where the pieces have come from but they are morphed to create something new and unique. His main interests are those associated with society and the way people function, communicate and move about in environments. Joel is currently producing a complex model of a day centre where each room is meticulously put together. He is very independent and focused, and this is demonstrated in his attention to detail in all his sculpture.
Browse beautiful prints and fun, unique cards designed at Artbox London, a social enterprise showcasing and nurturing art by people with learning disabilities.
Artbox London is part gallery where art is exhibited and sold, part studio where artists take part in workshops to hone their techniques. All together it’s a space opening up the arts to people with learning disabilities, helping them gain financial independence and inviting them into a welcoming community.
There are also opportunities for artists outside of Artbox London HQ through trips to cultural spaces in London, such as galleries, museums and libraries. These trips are a chance for the artists to get inspiration, spend time in each other’s company and in some cases, build the confidence to visit these places on their own.
Half of the money from every sale goes to the artist behind that piece of work, with the other half funding the workshops and trips they run.
So, choose a piece of art from Artbox London and it will be a talking point for both its great design and brilliant backstory.
