About the artist

Joseph Patrick Micacchione (me-katch-ee-oh-nay) is an Atlanta-based abstract artist and founder of Abstract By Joe LLC, established in September 2021.

His signature work is known for vibrant colors, complex layering, and a process that refuses convention. Using nontraditional media — torn canvas, kitchen utensils, and anything that achieves the right mark — Joseph’s paintings are less self-taught than self-discovered.

His work has been exhibited at Stellers Gallery in Jacksonville, FL, and shown at the Scott Antique Markets in Atlanta. Commissions are open.

A Georgia native, Joseph was raised in Carrollton. Off the canvas, he’s a lifelong tennis player and the proud dad of Roscoe, an American Dingo.

I paint to find things I can’t say any other way. The process is the point — the color choices, the layers, the accidents that become the composition. I’m not recreating what I see. I’m chasing what I feel.
