'Charadia not only notices the rising and setting of the sun–he documents light in its absence, its momentary markers in worlds of movement.'
N.Smith Gallery is delighted to present Nocturnes IV, Joshua Charadia's fourth and final installment in his Nocturnes series,
Painted without immediacy, yet capturing a fleeting moment, Charadia’s images look forward while paying homage to the before–in the company of the past but not subservient to it–together with history but free of its claims.
Like staring at a setting sun, there is a charisma in the way Charadia frames and elucidates life’s divinely simple moments: beginnings have endings, endings are beginnings.
