Peintre, sculpteur. #Joseph Alessandri s'installe à Marseille dans les années 60 et suit les cours du soir de l’École des Beaux-Arts. Il travaille ensuite chez un maître-verrier et se familiarise avec la technique de la lithographie dans l'atelier de Jo Berto. Très attiré par l'utilisation des matières, il les intègre à ses œuvres et François Nourissier a écrit à son propos qu'il était un "sculpteur d'ombres". Installé à partir de 1975 à Eygalières, en Provence, il crée des peintures reliefs sur le thème de l'enfermement, de l'effacement. Il utilise alors des matériaux divers, bois, fragments d'objets usuels ou naturels, fers de récupération, qu'il organise dans des travaux de manière abstraite, parfois plus précisément dessinée. Villes et châteaux sous le sable, éléments de corps humains momifiés, portes et personnages, paysages imaginaires sont les thèmes qui l'inspirent. Ses œuvres sont visibles dans de nombreux musées français et dans les collections privées (New-York, Paris, Hong-Kong, etc.).
