Onion eye / I Painting

Based out of a modest home studio in New York, De Yos is a Painter, and Draughtsman, whose work deals primarily in the chaotic flux that is Human Nature. His work explores the tensions between this element and, technology, superstition, the family unit dynamic, and lastly, what he has come to term as ' The myth of progress'. Much of the time the work is laced with a strong personal aspect, and in style is quite expressive. Now in his mid fifties, De Yos has wielded some sort of mark making implement in his hand as far back as his memory will take him. Although he has had some formal technical instruction-much of it through books and literature- De Yos is mostly a self taught painter, yet, one well versed in all aspects of the history of Art. He often draws upon this breadth of knowledge in the creation of his varied style of works.
