Joey Center

Studio Member since 2021

Born in 1996, Joey was raised in the suburbs of Chicago. Center’s emerging creative practice is primarily driven by the exploration of his various interests – guitars, classic cars, idyllic landscapes, and space travel. Working from both memory and carefully selected source imagery, his curious graphite drawings are both dreamlike and detailed. Particularly fascinated by iconic cars from pop culture, he cites the Back to the Future DeLorean, KITT from Knight Rider, and James Bond’s Aston Martin as influences. An avid fan of 90s rock and metal, Center has played the guitar since he was seven; these days he usually practices on a favorite Epiphone Les Paul or his late father’s red Ibanez.
