Joe Bochynski Born in Buffalo but currently lives and works in Maine.

His past mosaic bricolage artwork focuses on the rituals and allegories taught within these institutions and how they define the individual and group. More recently, he is using biomorphic forms to expose the imprints left by these structures on our bodies; imprints of protection and restriction.

He received a BA in Mathematics and Studio Art from Hobart College in 2008 and an MFA in painting from RISD in 2013.  His first artist book was published in 2016 by CEPA Press with support from the Foundation for Contemporary Arts.  He participated in residencies at Socrates Sculpture Park (2017) and the Vermont Studio Center (2015).  His first permanent public work was commissioned by the NYC Department of Cultural Affairs Percent for the Arts Program in 2024. Bochynski currently lives and works in Maine.
