Joey has an eye for the unseen! Inspired by extreme contrast in colours, textures and scenery, he is drawn to landscapes that embrace opposing elements – light and dark, angular and circular, solid and transparent, rustic and sleek, traditional and contemporary. He brings his distinctive view of the world to light through his art. Joey is drawn to spaces and buildings that are seen as mundane, and he creates a unique perspective to encourage the viewer to look at similar scenery with a new appreciation.
The Art Gallery of Bancroft is situated on the traditional territory of the Anishinaabeg Algonquins, which is known to be unceded. Indigenous people have been stewards of this land since time immemorial; as such we honour and respect their connection to the land, its plants, animals and stories. Our recognition of the contributions and historic importance of Indigenous peoples is sincerely aligned to our collective commitment to make the promise and the challenge of truth and reconciliation real in our community.
