Iowa native Josh Sorrell produces representational artwork altered by abstract elements. Using oil or charcoal as the preferred medium, Josh examines themes of personal and cultural significance while also attempting to draw a new perspective from accepted ideas. Subjects are often presented within a surreal atmosphere meant to strengthen their impact. This focus on combining both real and imaginary components allow the viewer to create their own unique interpretation.

“I paint to explore human nature within our current social structures. The subjects of my work examine how our experiences affect our fragile identity.”
