Joseph Pace (born 18 November 1959) is an Italian painter and sculptor.
Joseph Pace was born in Morbegno (Lombardy) and raised in Congo-Kinshasa (Africa). Grandson of Camillo Pace, he was introduced to the visual arts by his uncle Antonio Cardile. He also has followed legal, literary, social and psychoanalytical studies at the University of Paris La Sorbonne, at the Sapienza University of Rome and at the Roma Tre University.
In the 1980s Pace worked in Rome and Paris where, in the mid-1980s, he founded "Le Filtranisme" an neo-existencialist philosophical and artistic current witch has an optic close to Renaissance and an anthropocosmic vision.
Inspired by sources as diverse as fashion, history, electronic music and decorative arts, Pace uses different techniques (such as painting, assemblage, sculpture, electronic engravings, photography) influenced by the iconography of mass society, philosophy and psychoanalysis.
Also assembling objects such as costume jewellery or recycled materials such as wood, metals or frosted glass of refrigerators shelves, Pace above all uses painting as his favorite medium.
