Biography from AskART:
| An artist who depicts industrial and urban subjects that
are usually devoid of the human figure, Joe Santos is influenced by the Precisionist
painters, as well as the Bay Area figurative painters. Much of his
work borders on the abstract with an emphasis on design and composition.
He was born in Los Angeles, California in 1965, and was exposed to art at a
very early age by his father, artist, Phil Santos. It was his father
who bought Joe his first set of watercolors, and he immediately became
'obsessed' with the medium.
After graduating from Pasco High School in
Washington State, Joe returned to Southern California, and between
1984 and 1986 attended Golden West College where he continued his art
technique and design studies. During these years, he also worked in
the graphic arts field and in his father's studio.
For 21 years, Joe resided in Orange County, California, but in 2004, he moved
back to Eastern Washington. Since 1988, he has worked exclusively in
watercolor, and in 1999 he decided to devote himself to fine art.
Since
2001, Joe's, watercolor paintings have been exhibited in over 20
national shows including the American Watercolor Society
International Exhibition in New York City, and the National Watercolor
Society Annual Exhibition in Southern California.
Joe Santos is a member of
the Watercolor USA Honor Society.
MUSEUM EXHIBITIONS
Work has been shown in 8 Museum exhibitions including the Elmhurst Art
Museum in Elmhurst, Illinois, and the Springfield Art Museum in
Springfield, Missouri.
