Wedding Cake 2017

Joshua Flint's 2017 painting "Wedding Cake" depicts a wedding ceremony. The figures are rendered with a soft, ethereal quality, almost dissolving into the background, which is dominated by a cloudy purple sky and a flurry of black butterflies. The use of a muted color palette and the ethereal figures create a sense of dreamlike unreality and a somber mood. The work, with its unique style, blurs the lines between realism and abstraction.
