biography
Artist Joie Iacono was born in New York City where she still lives and works. Often blurring the line between Artist and Muse, her work is a somewhat diaristic pastiche consisting of portraiture, self portraiture, still life and landscape photography, drawing and video. Iacono’s visual vocabulary is based on her own very personalized self mythology while challenging assumed notions of the classical and iconic. Having received her bachelor’s degree in Photography from the School of Visual Arts in New York City in 2003, Iacono was inspired by the modern masters she had the opportunity to study with such as David Armstrong, Billy Sullivan, Joseph Maida, and Jenny Gage among others. Joie debuted her first solo exhibition “To Drown A Rose” in 2004 at Wallspace Gallery, NYC with great success and has since been included in group exhibitions internationally. Her client list has included W Magazine, i-D Magazine, Hercules Magazine, Nylon Magazine, The New York Times, New York Magazine, Smug Magazine, Burial Hex, Ego Magazine, EMI Records, Time Out Magazine, International DJ Magazine and The Guardian Guide.
