JOEX2

JoeX2, is an urban artist. Previously limited to the underground subculture of municipal art, this past year he emerged with rapid fire in solo and group shows spanning from New York City to San Francisco. Learning the craft of fine art from his father, a painter and Trinidad native, Joe Joe’s talent is vastly displayed in his old school styles depicting everything from island flavor to cultural materialism. Prior to being a visual voice of metropolitan expressionism, Joe Joe served as favorite of the entertainment trade with his work being seen regularly on the television shows CSI: NY, Everybody Hates Chris, and the music videos of P.Diddy, 50 Cent, Snoop Dogg and Daddy Yankee. His work is also internationally publicized in magazines such as Mass Appeal, Vapors, Joints and Frank 151. With attention from industry heavyweights such as McDonalds and Telemundo in branding and advertising, his talent is limitless. He continues to prove his unique style and vision comfortably situated between the fast track of superstardom and starving artist. His bodies of work include “Turnstyle”, a return to the roots of subway graffiti, “$treet Credit” a politically charged satire of issues affecting urban cultures set atop none other than plush black velvet, “Central Bookings” a highly stylized series of urban mug-shots ringing with tones of glamour-shots, and his latest signature patterned canvas in the series “Gridlock” and “Dope on a Rope”. His diversity is unique, his talent is limitless. Joe Joe currently resides in Los Angeles with his fiancé, Lucinda, and French bulldog, Bad Girl. www.joex2.com
