S02.E04 - JOEY BROCK

I am interviewing Dallas, Texas based artists, Joey Brock. Joey is a Contemporary Mixed Media Artist, who is redefining the medium of photography, textile art and contemporary craft with his intricate and cultural commentary work aimed to break the stigma around sexual orientation, gender, ethnicity, age and mental wellness. By weaving together diverse materials, his work lowers the barriers to understanding the multifaceted human experience, allowing viewers to visualize the nuanced struggles, resilience, and growth that define all people. Brock earned his degree in Fashion Merchandising from Bauder College in 1988. His work has been exhibited nationally at venues including the Bradbury Art Museum, Arkansas State University, The Louise Hopkins Underwood Center for the Arts / LHUCA, The Delaware Contemporary, the Meadows Gallery – University of Texas at Tyler, AMoA Amarillo Museum of Art Biennial 600 and Northpark Center in Dallas as well as numerous solo and group exhibitions at galleries across the nation. In 2022, his work was selected by juror Lauren R. O’Connell, curator of Contemporary Art, Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art for New American Paintings, Issue 156 as well as in 2024, Issue 174 by juror Anita N. Bateman, Ph.D., Associate Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art, Museum of Fine Arts, Houston TX. In 2025 he was awarded 'Best of Show' Emerging Artist, Main Street Art Fair, Fort Worth, TX. His work has been featured twice on the digital billboard of the Pendry West Hollywood on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles. Brock currently resides in Dallas, Texas. www.joeybrockart.com
