Watch Joe DeVera, Visual Artist and United States Marine Corps Veteran (2001 to 2008), lead a skill-building demonstration on subtractive painting on non-absorbent grounds. This fun painting process is excellent for a final work or to help artists work towards large-scale works.
Joe DeVera was born in the Philippines during a time of political turmoil and violence. He enlisted in the United States Marine Corps from 2001 to 2008 (serving two combat deployments). His work often attempts to make sense of the absurd theaters of human tragedy, exploring the possible relationships between historiography and art objects while simultaneously investigating the cultural networks of mass conflict.
His exhibition record includes solo and two-person shows in Philadelphia, Connecticut, and Southern California. Joe DeVera received his MFA in Painting and Printmaking from the Yale School of Art (2014) and his BFA in Painting from California State University, Fullerton (2011), where he served as an adjunct lecturer for several years.
