JOSPEPH PISANI
Joseph Pisani is a New York artist & photographer who calls Zurich home. His adventure travel to 70+ countries while purposely avoiding the easy route become the inspiration for his abstract paintings, sculptures & installations. He explains it like this: «Spontaneity keeps things fresh, while serendipity guides me through it all. Along with many amazing experiences, there have been a few rough spots along the way, but these often turn out to be the best memories». Pisani has extensively exhibited his art internationally including a solo show at the United Nations (UNO) in Geneva, and a permanent exhibit at the US consulate in Zurich. Pisani has also been written about numerous times by the Swiss media and he has appeared on TV and radio including as a guest on the Swiss television talk show ‘Aeschbacher’. Additionally, his art work and/or photos have been published in many Swiss publications such as NZZ am Sonntag, the Tages-Anzeiger, ZüriTipp, Faces Magazine, 20 Minuten...
