Joe Coffey

B: 1966

Victoria, B.C.

Joe Coffey works in oils, graphite, and mixed media. Born in Caledon East, Ontario, his early years were spent on the family farm. Drawing inspiration from history, pop culture, news, music, and his surroundings, Joe portrays a sculpted expressiveness while fixing his subjects in a state of tension that can be static, dynamic, or a combination of the two. Joe’s background in theatre also lends itself to his work, where a sense of drama and striking compositions evoke strong visceral reactions from viewers.

Widely acclaimed for his graphic skills, he has won awards for his art, and has been featured in multiple group exhibitions and solo shows. Joe has been working as a professional, exhibiting artist for the past 20 years, with galleries in San Francisco and Toronto. His works, including commissions, are in private collections across Canada, the USA, England, France and Switzerland . Joe presently lives and works in Victoria, B.C.
