Joseph Ewest

I find joy every day in simple things…an interesting pattern of power lines against the sky, a random grouping of trees, or strange shadows across my path. At the same time, I feel an intense contrast in the complexity of human interaction that coexists and generates friction, collision and also an odd sense of equilibrium. It is the constant push and pull, the frenetic layering of every day that energizes, confuses, overwhelms and inspires me to paint. I often find inspiration from imagery of the outdoors and photos I am constantly taking. My work is about abstraction and process as I move through places or experiences, expressing feelings that I often can’t identify or explain.
