Joe Mangrum Art is a small studio in Kingston, New York, focused on creating sand paintings and multi-material installations. The works explore themes tied to the urban grid and environmentalism and examine how these forces impact the collective psyche. The artist has developed a distinctive visual language that fuses cultural patterns with natural, scientific, and technological motifs to form living forms that engage their surroundings; he has produced more than a thousand sand paintings in public and private spaces, along with permanent pieces on canvas and carved wood. The artist's work blends ancient traditions with urban freestyle energy and bright colors, drawing on undersea life, botanicals, and geometric motifs to form a living mathematical language. Mangrum has traveled internationally with the work.
