Josh’s striking abstract paintings are a dynamic exploration of color, motion and layered form. The composition is a bold and expressive interplay of sweeping lines, interwoven bands and vibrant color blocks that pulse with energy and rhythm. Rich colors and curves move across the canvas, creating a vivid topography of emotion and movement.
