Devin Ratheal

Devin Ratheal is a West Texas native. He holds an MFA from Texas Tech University and is currently a Lecturer teaching Life Drawing, Illustration, and foundation-level drawing courses. He has exhibited across the United States and is best known for his oil paintings on wood that blend Renaissance and Baroque paintings with digital distortion to create works that appear to melt or explode onto the wall. His work explores the function and limitation of representation to form connections with the nonhuman world, emphasizing the tensions between material flows and symbol.
