Artwork
Joey created this painting as a modernist interpretation of the Jardin des Tuileries in central Paris, bordered by the River Seine, the Louvre, the Place de la Concorde and the Rue de Rivoli. "The Tuileries boasts some 55 acres and has been represented by artists for centuries," says Joey. "With this painting, the colors of spring flowers soothe the viewer, as they do for strollers through the park on a May day."
The piece is framed in a hand-built oak hardwood frame that measures 2" in depth and .25" thick.

Joey Korom is an abstract expressionist painter who has been a practicing artist for 50 years. He experiments with media, colors, and textures to produce artwork that is “purely optical;” that is, artwork meant to engage the viewer, visually and emotionally, without employing any associations outside of the work itself. Joey is passionate about this expressive type of abstraction, an artistic mode that escapes the rules of perspective and realism. His educational and professional background is in architecture, which he considers to be “the father of all arts.” The use of line, shape, and proportion in Joey’s work is visibly influenced by his experience as an architect, but he seeks to avoid the rigidity involved in architectural draftsmanship. He focuses instead on underlying structure, seductive color, and loose brushwork. The artist sees his style as a personal liberation from the demands of architectural drawing, and yet, he’s never lost the disciplines he was taught.
Great news! I not only received a prize at Art in Motion 2014, but I also sold one of my paintings. What a night!!
