Momentary Suspension 2015

Joshua Flint seems to have made this painting called 'Momentary Suspension' with oil paint. Look at the way he lets the pigment drip down from the wheels of the motorbike, it's like he's letting the paint do its own thing, embracing the accidental marks that come with the process. The colors are muted, almost like a faded photograph, but that splash of red on the rider's jacket really pops. It's not just about depicting a motorcycle, it's about capturing a mood, a feeling of speed and nostalgia, like a sepia toned dream. Check out the way the paint is applied, thin in some areas, thicker in others, creating a tangible surface. And the horses in the distance, blurred and indistinct, are they part of the memory or something else? It’s a conversation, an ongoing exchange between artist and canvas, where answers remain elusive.
