Using oil painting “to arrest a moment in time,” Sydney-based Joshua Charadia is known for his use of motion blur, which serves as an extended metaphor for our contemporary experience of the world – offering fleeting fragments of observation that oscillate between abstraction and realism.
Translating his photographs of the built environment and its inhabitants into paintings and drawings, revealed is latent visual complexity; exploring the nature of consciousness and perception, Charadia captures moments of the sublime in the everyday.
