The paintings of Josh P. S. explore the relationship of images to both history and memory, as well as how they function in the construction
of identities, both personal and collective. Their monochrome palette creates the effect of an oscillating and ghostly image that the viewer struggles to decipher. We are confronted to both identify and then ascribe meaning to these figures, events and landscapes we see
before us, in the process of becoming aware of how these
meanings may be pre-determined or even clichéd.
