Joe Reihsen — I'm really good at empathizing, holding my liquor, and putting my foot in my mouth
Joe Reihsen

I'm really good at empathizing, holding my liquor, and putting my foot in my mouth

A bold and confessional work by Joe Reihsen, this acrylic on panel painting delivers its message with the sharp wit and self-aware humor embedded in its title. Reihsen's use of his own handcrafted frame further extends the artwork beyond the canvas, suggesting an artist deeply invested in controlling the full visual experience. The piece invites viewers to laugh in recognition, reflecting on the all-too-human talent for contradiction.
