Highly reclusive and delightfully eccentric, the art of Smokey DeVille,
like his music, reveals a sardonic outlook on life, culture, sex, and death in
21st century America. While it is difficult to believe that there is very
little premeditation in his practice as an artist, he proclaims his work to be a
"virtually automatic purging", painting as it comes, so to speak, and says he
has no idea how a piece will end up when he begins. Whatever the creative
process, the results ultimately come together to form paintings, sculpture and
mixed media pieces with a brash clarity that evokes a reaction from their most
tentative viewers.
