Paul DeMuro is an artist and educator who lives and works in Brooklyn New York. He was born and raised in Philadelphia, where he spent time hanging out at his four neighborhoodcemeteries. Utilizing compacted areas of pattern, light, and expressionist brushwork as compositional structures, his recent work is comprised of oil paintings that seek to understand the complexities of the emotional and physical world that is growing increasingly dependent upon electric technologies. He was educated in Philadelphia at Temple University; Tyler School of Art and in New Jersey at Rutgers University and has been an educator with the Joan Mitchell Foundation since 2011. Recent exhibitions have been in New York, Paris, and across the United States, and he was recently awarded a New York Foundation for the Arts grant for painting.
