An original abstract acrylic on canvas by Oregon listed artist, Joshua Blue. Sitting in a custom wood frame and signed on the verso, circa 2018. Measures in frame (minus the painted block), 19.75” H x 25.5” W. Joshua Blue was born and academically educated in North Carolina; studying sculpture, installation, painting and photography. After academia, he relocated to the West Coast and settled in Salem, Oregon where he lives and works today. Blue’s work deploys techniques from Abstract Expressionism, Post-Painterly Abstraction, and Pop Art; proposing to leave the viewer a visual record of action. His work seeks to draw the audience into a state of inquisitiveness, challenging perceptions of foreground and background, at times leaving behind found objects meant to carry that curiosity out of the painting and into life.
