@ Friendly Music Community

Opening Thursday, May 9th, from 7PM - 12AM
On view through Sunday, June 30th
Join us for a night of music and art to celebrate the work of award winning, multimedia artist Joe Fournier.
Joe Fournier has been able to share with us his unique take on American life and love through an extraordinarily strong sense of curiosity and joy in his image/music/animation making. Fournier works with a limited color palette in order to push the focus of each piece to his cutting wit and sensitivity, which is the strength of this artist. Fournier is a uniquely authentic artist, using an uncommon yet compelling visual language to help relieve us from an extremely divisive, relentlessly hostile, social climate. Fournier’s work has been shown at The National Gallery of Art, The Cannes Film Festival and has works in The Library of Congress. Fournier is also an award winning political cartoonist, whose satirical political strip appeared three times a week in The Chicago Tribune.
Oh, and he has zero cavities. Not a one.
Fournier’s work focuses on mental health, particularly since being diagnosed as a Highly Sensitive Person.
“I see a lot of myself in our anxiety-riddled society, and try to show the various constructive methods I have found to be of benefit to me : meditation, yoga, Taoist teachings and the like. I show them as they’re being used and not prior to their need in hopes that the viewer will – at the very least – consider these ideas for relief or respite.”
