Contemporary Works

Raleigh, NC

Gallery C is proud to present Contemporary Works, an exhibit of new artworks by nationally renowned cityscape artist, Josh George. The exhibition will be in Gallery C on Wade Avenue, in Ridgewood Shopping Center, from August 6th through September 22nd. Josh George's cityscapes are influenced by works dating back to the 19th century impressionists. He is influenced by masters such as Edgar Degas and Mary Cassat because of their excellent drawing abilities. He is motivated and inspired by Richard Diabankorn and Wayne Thiebaud because, like George, they took the liberty of redesigning their landscapes to fit their own views. Josh George's work focuses on the changing cityscape from the street level view, like an Ash Can artist. George uses an plethora of materials when creating his works; not limiting himself, but including wallpaper scraps, postage stamps, and old product labels. Josh George has degrees from the Kansas City Art Institute and Central Missouri State University. He is a native of Kansas City, Missouri.
