About

Joey Farrell is a 25-year-old artist and designer born and raised in the Hamptons. Since first picking up a camera in his early teens, he has worked primarily in photography, obsessively documenting the people and environments that made up his Bridgehampton upbringing. The “old soul” depth and measured approach of Farrell’s candid portraits, surf scapes, and adolescent documentation earned him exhibitions early on, having had his first ever showing alongside legendary photographers such as Nan Goldin, Cindy Sherman, Peter Beard, Miles Aldridge, and more. Success in these early showings propelled him into multiple solo exhibitions and even an inclusion in the 2019 AIPAD photography fair, in which he was the youngest artist to ever exhibit at just 18 years old, as well as a “top ten must-see photographer,” as named by Artsy.

After his early artistic success in high school, Farrell attended Parsons College of Art and Design, where he began exploring other mediums, including sculpture, collectible design, apparel, and more. It is through the use of these mediums that he aims to further articulate convergences between his primary childhood influences of skateboarding, construction, and graffiti, drawing on tactile materials such as cast concrete, metal work, woodworking, and more to materialize adjacent contexts into concise forms.  

In addition to his exploration of photography and the three-dimensional form, Farrell has developed an extensive graphic language within the world of his “FACE” motif, centered on a graffiti-tag-inspired one-line approach. Increasingly known for this work under the pseudonym “Joski,” his hand-drawn graphic work has spanned physical objects, sculptural installations, murals, and art cars.

Farrell’s creative practice continues to grow and expand beyond just a single medium, drawing on a multi-disciplinary existence that integrates techniques, approaches, and subject matter across mediums.
