Artist Bio
Joanne Tod
Joanne Tod is a figurative painter who rose to fame during a time when many in the art world considered painting to ‘over’, or ethically unjustifiable. However, with quick wit and critical eye, Tod employs irony in her paintings to challenge stereotypes, assumptions, and expectations, while continuously aware of her medium’s implications and historical context. She continues to use her medium to confront and critique a variety of social issues through the guise of high realism paintings.
