Joshua Charadia: Nocturnes.: N.Smith Gallery

'Exploiting the parameters of photography, I capture my reference images in low light and in passing, resulting in an acute motion blur. This serves as a metaphor for sensory experience in today’s world, which is often truncated, redacted or fugitive. Familiar structures become abstract lines and shapes, and the solid becomes fluid, making for images that are familiar but just out of reach. Through the considered process of painting I highlight the complexities of colour, detail and form hidden within these scenes. I refocus the viewer’s attention to that which normally exists at the peripheries of consciousness and vision, inviting a renewed awareness of the world around us.'
