Lagoon 2018

"Lagoon" is a 2018 painting by contemporary artist Joshua Flint. The work depicts a woman standing in a small boat with a shadowy figure reaching towards her. The figure’s head is engulfed in flames, suggesting a potential danger or inner turmoil. The painting uses loose brushstrokes and a subdued palette of greens, browns, and grays to create a mysterious and atmospheric scene, highlighting the tension between the figures. Flint's work often explores themes of isolation, identity, and the human condition. "Lagoon" is a compelling example of his style, capturing a sense of vulnerability and the unknown within a seemingly ordinary setting.
