A contemporary realist, Josh George paints with oils and acrylics on wood panel, incorporating layers of collage elements to achieve a texture and richness idiosyncratic to his work. His subjects include human figures, cityscapes, and scenes of everyday existence that capture the multifaceted nature of life in the American city.
George’s paintings offer narrative “snap-shots” conveyed with both a sly wit and sensitivity, juxtaposing humor and pathos to present the complexities of the modern American experience. Josh George at once celebrates and critiques our culture, expresses both disillusionment and exuberance, and discovers beauty and disappointment in unexpected places.
