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. you can find examples of my work at... www.joshgeorge.com joshgeorge.blogspot.com galleries that sell my work... www.triagallerynyc.com www.sherryleedy.com www.entroterra.it www.
