BEVERLY HILLS, CA.- Nathan Slate Joseph, who creates raw, tactile works by staining shards of discarded steel with pigment and acid, expands on iconic series from earlier periods in his long career for a solo show in Beverly Hills. Joseph has been an integral part of the New York School of Art for the past 40 years. Today he is renowned for his works exploring themes of globalization, immigration and climate change. For this exhibition, Joseph features new three-dimensional paintings, freestanding sculptures and wall-mounted vessels. Exposing metal to rain, wind and sunlight in his outdoor studio, he achieves rich patinas and unpredictable textures. Intensely colored, Joseph’s art straddles the realms of painting and sculpture, East and West, nature and the manmade. Gallery president and curator Sundaram Tagore says,
