About Joe Loria
Following a path of Stewart Davis, John Graham, Willem deKooning, Milton Avery, Grace Hartigan, and many other pioneers into color, emotion and expression through visual art.
I make art, paintings, to tell stories the only meaningful way I can, visual language. I am inspired by people, phrases, places, utterances, headlines; I begin with drawings and connect the odd dots of people, places and things to build a painting.
I have a unique color sensibility and it is exploited here in my quest to explain my concept of reality, an American Art.
