Joey Korom was born in Milwaukee in the summer of 1955. He is an Abstract Expressionist painter who has been a practicing artist for 50 years. Korom went on to earn a bachelor of science degree in 1989 from the School of Architecture, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and in 1992, he obtained a master of architecture degree. He experiments with media, colors and textures to produce purely optical artwork, that is, artwork meant to engage the viewer, visually and emotionally, without employing any associations outside of the work itself. Korom 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 Korom’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. Korom sees his style as a personal liberation from the demands of architectural drawing and yet, he’s never lost the disciplines he was taught.
