Photography on Poly-cotton Canvas, Handmade Frame

Triptych ‘Virtues - Sanctity, Abundance & Deliverance’ features three veiled figures wearing handmade headdresses made from various collected specimens, including Shearwater Bird Skulls washed up during migration on the central coast of NSW. Drawing on religious iconography from the late Italian Gothic and the early Renaissance, each virtue seeks to highlight the prevalence of the divine feminine, examining the power of femininity in embodying both the delicacy and beauty of nature and of mortality. Divided into three central concepts, Sanctity, Abundance and Deliverance, these virtues seek to underpin the permeance of these feminine virtues within our current political and social contexts. Joseph’s Virtues won People’s Choice at the Hornsby Art Prize 2022, and was also been a finalist in the Du Rietz Prize 2022.

Joseph de la Hoyde is a Sydney based multimedia artist whose practice centres around painting, photography and collected forms to document a ritualistic connection to the seen and unseen world. Drawn to allegory, sacrality and gothicism, his work ambles between darkness and light, where ethereal veiled figures, disquieting natural landscapes and intimate meditations on mortality converge. His work invites his audience into a world of thresholds - otherworldly yet familiar, tender and macabre, creating moments where wonder, disillusionment, transcendence and disquiet go hand in hand.
