JOSH LORD
THE ANCIENT FUTURE
3 - 18 OCTOBER 2025
Australian Contemporary icon Josh Lord has created a body of work that only emphasises the key ideology he has expressed in paintings past. Using a key doctrine of Cubism, Lord combines abstraction with representation as a means to create the ultimate expression of form. Defining his work as “exploration of the relationship between form, colour, and deconstruction” Lord's layered motifs and fractured juxtaposition of his subjects give his work a pleasantly confronting and gritty vibe.
In the realm of Australian Contemporary art, Josh Lord stands as a beacon of creative prowess, consistently pushing the boundaries of expression. With a discerning eye for detail and a masterful command of various mediums, he crafts tapestry of different aesthetics whilst using the same method to create them. Yet, Lord's art is not confined to mere representation; it is a conduit for introspection. His creations cause viewers to ponder the intricate dance between tradition and modernity, urging them to contemplate the evolving nature of Australian culture.
Josh Lord's practice, a fusion of Modernist principles and vivid chaos, invites viewers to discover hidden layers, prompting reflection on the evolving dance between tradition and modernity in Australian culture.
