This compelling painting is part of a show in Boston this summer (2026) at HallSpace in Dorchester called "What Do Trees Know?" The write-up pasted here featured in the excellent Boston online arts mag, The Arts Fuse:
Joel Janowitz is a Boston-area painter who work can be found in numerous public collections including the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, The Boston Museum of Fine Arts, the Harvard Museums, and the Yale University Art Gallery. A Guggenheim Fellowship recipient, he has twice received artist grants from the National Endowment for the Arts. Janowitz has taught at Wellesley College (2003-2010), Massachusetts College of Art/Fine Arts Work Center’s Low-Residency MFA program (2006-2010), and the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (1994-2000).
His "Protected Trees" series dates to the re-laying of underground infrastructure in his home city of Cambridge, Mass during 2015 and 2016.
