Josef O’Connor
Face Valued, 2020
Josef O’Connor (b.1990) is a London based artist whose practice explores
various constructs relating to value and interrogating the space between life
and art, as a vehicle for social change. Face Valued emerged from this period
of social isolation by inviting a digital audience to watch as London-based
artist, Josef O’Connor, painted 100 canvases over a period of seven days with
a value ranging between £1 and £100, before selling them each for ‘Face Value’
and donating the proceeds to The Soup Kitchen.
The canvases are already sold, but he will create one more canvas which will
be open to bids.
