Joel Rea (born 1983) is a highly acclaimed and multi award-winning artist known for his surreal, allegorical paintings. Rea’s oil on canvas works stand somewhere between genres of hyperrealism, photorealism and virtuosic Renaissance realism. From this amalgamation of influences, Rea has created a unique and recognisable style portraying social awareness and personal introspection through his impeccable execution of brush work detail. Inspired by the mysteries of the animal kingdom and the Universe beyond, Rea’s meanings and narratives touch on the vast complexity of the human condition, presenting messages embracing the ageless turmoil of human inner consciousness and our species’ unwavering desire to survive. Rea combines contemporary visuals with qualities of the sublime in painting, provoking the deepest possible emotional response through technically achieved aesthetics. His imagery frequently depicts: self-portraits; tigers; dogs; sun rays coming through clouds; and destructive waves inspired by the turbulent Australian coastline where he played as a child. Joel lives and works on the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia.

"Visual Art activates the human mind. It provokes thought, emotion, inspiration and creativity.  It provides an avenue for political, social and cultural commentary.

It breaks language, gender and age barriers, and remains one of the most unregulated forms of artistic expression.

Encourage and embrace that freedom".  Eyeball Kicks
