JOSEPH LEROUX

b. 1984 Newton Falls NY USA

Lives and works in Philadelphia PA USA

A former musician who realized he “loved tearing things apart and putting them back together,” Joseph Leroux harnesses the energy of live music in his sculptures. Each work subverts its intended use and becomes a prop in a parallel reality in which objects take on alternative functions. Constructed from materials both created and found—including logging saws, wood, drums, and paint—Leroux’s sculptures reference the artist’s upbringing in the mill town of Newton Falls in upstate New York. The finely constructed pieces and installations fuse together themes from design, architecture, music, and modern industry.
