ISOLATION - METRO GALLERY - 2015
Joshua Miels is a contemporary artist who looks to capture the vulnerability and emotions of people that they try to hind from others. Spending countless hours adding layer upon layer of paint, Joshua produces artworks that are not only striking but deep and powerful. Painted with predominantly oil paint, each piece start off with a subject, but with a large amount of experimentation, each and every piece of art takes its own journey. The Artworks challenge the viewers to draw upon there own emotions and personal experiences. How each piece is interpreted differs from person to person, there is no right or wrong way to interprets these artworks.
