Michael Tole says of his work… This work draws a connection between the didactic moralizing tendencies of Neo Classicism (represented in the style of the painting) and Modernism (represented in the architectural setting). Though modern art eschews the naturalistic imagery used by Neo Classicists, both movements pursued a self-important, austere, self-consciously masculine aesthetic that they saw as synonymous with virtue. Set in the MoMA courtyard, a passel of men lounge about, regarding a golden statue which looks terribly out of place in this modernist vitrine. The uncomfortable architectural setting, prisonlike and cold, provides a foil for the odalisque-like young men sprawled on hard stone benches and paying homage to the central idol. In my current work, The Revisionist Histories, I am writing letters to art history, literature, and mythology in an attempt to reflect the social changes that have reshaped our society over the past century.  As part of this agenda, I explore the evolution of gender norms, power dynamics, and representation within Western visual culture and what this implies for the negotiation between pleasure, justice, and our culturally specific discourse on beauty.    The seed for The Revisionist Histories was sewn when I caught a glimpse of my preteen daughters watching music videos on their iPad as I chopped veggies for dinner.  Out of the corner of my eye I caught glimpses of music videos featuring Beyonce, Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, Katy Perry, and Doja Cat gyrating across the tiny screen.  A better parent might have snatched the iPad away, but I was overcome with hallucinatory visions of this pop diva...

Signed J.J. Boimond lower right. Oil on panel. Dimensions: 59 × 65 cm (23.2 × 25.6 in.) Expressive mid-20th century still life depicting a richly colored interior composition with a bouquet of flowers, a bottle and a cage inhabited by vivid yellow birds. The artist brings together familiar domestic objects within a highly personal and poetic composition. At the center, a bouquet of loosely painted flowers emerges from a blue vase, while the strong vertical presence of a dark red bottle balances the composition on the left. To the right, the cage and its bright yellow birds introduce an unexpected narrative element and immediately draw the eye. Executed with a vigorous, textured handling of paint, the work favors expressive color and atmosphere over precise representation. Warm ochres, earthy browns, pinks and greens are enlivened by flashes of yellow, blue and red, creating a rich and harmonious surface. The deliberately simplified forms and loosely defined perspective contribute to the painting’s distinctly modern character. The work reflects the influence of European Expressionism and post-war figurative painting, combining the traditional genre of the still life with a freer and more emotionally charged approach to color and form. Both intimate and decorative, this unusual composition has a strong visual presence and a particularly appealing sense of warmth and spontaneity. Charming mid-20th-century oil on panel by J.J. Boimond, depicting two bright yellow birds in a cage beside a vase of freshly cut flowers. The artist constructs an intimate and poetic interior scene around a particularly appealing combination of motifs. The vivid yellow birds provide the focal point of the composition, echoed by the yellow flowers arranged in a slender blue vase. Behind them, loosely suggested objects and furnishings dissolve into a richly worked background of warm ochre, terracotta, green and brown tones. The painting is distinguished by its expressive handling of color and its deliberately simplified forms. Rather than pursuing strict realism, Boimond creates atmosphere through broad areas of color, soft contours and a textured, almost velvety paint surface. The juxtaposition of the geometric structure of the birdcage with the freer treatment of the flowers and surrounding interior gives the composition an appealing balance between structure and spontaneity. A highly decorative and evocative example of European mid-century figurative painting, particularly attractive for its unusual combination of still life, interior and bird imagery.
