BIO

Tony DeVoney (b. 1994) is a self-taught, multimedia artist from New Orleans, Louisiana; currently based in Los Angeles, California. DeVoney develops visual concepts from movements, color energies, and emotional observations. The artist, motivated by ideas of stimulation, activates the viewers senses through his detailed use of texture and layered hues, occasionally introducing light to visually alter his work. Working with acrylics and exploring new forms of abstractions, DeVoney’s practice is a product of the environment around him. He often experiments with various fabrics, mediums, and instruments. Using spills and splatters collected from his travels, the premise behind the artists current direction of work is to take something organic and universal—something most people would recognize but not necessarily pay mind to—and explore these abstract forms with definitive intention and curiosity. DeVoney's designs explore opposing ideas of chaos and control, leaving viewers to perceive unique identities within this duality; often described as a feeling of dopamine release. Through a combination of tones and colors that drive the brain to feel different emotions, DeVoney's work allows for a range of interpretations that can take the viewer on a journey through movement, light, and abstract forms. 

DeVoney has built a varied portfolio having worked for clients such as HP and Apple Studios as well as acquired collectors by the likes of  Miley Cyrus, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Vanessa Hudgens and Adam Lambert
