Born in 1960 in Hornell, New York, but raised in Buffalo, Joseph Radoccia received a BS in Design from Buffalo State College and a MFA in Painting from University at Buffalo. He started painting when he was around 19. Since the mid-eighties, Radoccia has been based in Brooklyn, New York, where his paintings and sculptures began addressing urgent social issues, such as Apartheid and AIDS. After a one-year painting in Florence and Venice, Italy, his work moved to subjects more sensual and religious. His paintings have been exhibited in Brooklyn, Provincetown, Atlanta and New Orleans. Since 2001, Joseph Radoccia has divided his time between a permanent studio in Brooklyn, New York and one in Antananarivo, Madagascar.
