Another Country 2015

"Another Country" is a 2015 painting by Joshua Flint (b. 1977) depicting two young boys in the midst of a boxing match. The boys are positioned in the foreground, their forms dominating the composition, while the background shows a cityscape with an airship floating in the sky, perhaps referencing the early 20th century. This juxtaposition of youthful athleticism and a bustling urban environment suggests a thematic exploration of societal and cultural values. The painting's realistic style, characterized by detailed brushwork and a sense of depth, captures the raw energy and tension of the fight, while the hazy background alludes to the complex and often uncertain nature of life in a modern city.
