Joey Belardi (b. 1996, Santa Cruz, CA) is a painter based in Laguna Beach, California. His work explores the absurdities of everyday life, using humor and observation to reframe the familiar. Drawing on mid-century animation and shared cultural memory, Belardi builds scenes through simplified forms and deliberate color, balancing clarity with subtle distortions of space and feeling. His paintings invite viewers to reconsider how memory and myth shape the present.
