Painter Joe Diggs is having two shows this summer: "Evolving Circles," a first-time solo exhibition at the Provincetown Art Association and Museum (PAAM) and one which complements it, "Shaping Change," at Berta Walker Gallery.

He said that the show at PAAM is a retrospective of work created between 2016 and 2025. "There are circles in all my pieces. In college and grad school, I was always trying to figure out how to put a circle inside a square." And that quest turned into the basis for some of his compositions.

The show's theme is "about the circles of life" and the way that people and events intersect with each other and come 360 degrees around; the intersectionality of different disciplines, and how his landscapes, figural work, abstractions and new investigation of patterns circle into each other and move forward, "changing space, creating new spatial relationships." In his circle, "You start with art and end with art." So, his "Evolving Circles" exhibition is also a "journey of how the work came together" to reveal a kind "of surreal idea of how things happen - all part of the potion."
