Roq La Rue Gallery presents new paintings by Josh Keyes in his opening “The Circus and The Sea”.
Painter Josh Keyes is internationally famous for his work that blends museum-like diorama imagery with stark contemporary commentary of socio-political and environmental challenges we all face.
Keyes’ style is reminiscent of the diagrammatic vocabulary found in scientific textbook illustrations that often express, through a detached and clinical viewpoint, an empirical representation of the natural world. Assembled into this virtual stage set are references to contemporary events along with images and themes from his personal mythology. Josh Keyes’ work is a hybrid of eco-surrealism and dystopian folktales that express a concern for our time and the Earth’s future.
Josh Keyes will be exhibiting a new series of paintings themed around the circus and sea imagery. We will be releasing a very limited edition print entitled “Exodus 1”, available to walk in’s only starting at 5pm on November 9th.
Opening Night Friday November 9th 6-9pm, artist in attendance.
Show runs through December 1st.
