Joey Seeman
Joseph Seeman is a painter living and working in Dallas, Texas. Born and raised in Miami, Florida, Seeman's bold portraiture draws its inspiration from pop culture, with influences as varied as Saturday morning television, Mexican wrestling and Latino street culture. Active in the burgeoning South Beach art scene of the early 90s, Seeman collaborated with fine artist Tomato Du Plenty (former lead singer of the seminal LA punk band The Screamers), staging numerous exhibitions in alternative spaces. Fasion designer Anna Sui commissioned Seeman's art for one of her sportswear collections, and the North Miami's Museum of Contemporary Arts selected his work for The Monster Show.
Since relocating to Dallas in 1996, Seeman has participated in group and solo exhibitions in Dallas and Los Angeles. Seeman's work has been featured in such national publications as Attache (United Airlines), Juxtapoz, Ocean Drive, Spin, and Vogue. He holds a degree in Computer Animation from the Art Institute of Dallas.
For 6 Arms to Hold You, Seeman has produced psychological portraits of beautiful women that have inhabited his daily life over one year. Each woman is unique, and portrayed in a nearly baroque level of detail. They are burlesque dancers, models, tattoo artists and the girl next door. Metamorphosis and change are underlying themes in this group of work.
