Josh George

Mixed media artist with gallery representation around the world. The city has a wealth of information to process: screeching subway cars, unexpected silences, sunlight hitting a hotdog cart or a brickwall or a beveled window, throngs of people in the crosswalks.the stimuli is at once overwhelming and inspiring. As a painter, I enjoy the challenge of observing these chaotic elements and deciding which details need to be amplified—or muted—in order to create an experience of our urbanity. Working in the studio, I look at each painting the same way I look at the city: initially, the surface is chaotic, a wonderful mess of colors and textures (specifically, layers of collage and paint) that I need to consider and assess, then shape into something I and the viewer, each in our own ways, can enter and investigate.
