Meet Josh Crow
I am from central Missouri and a graduate of Rhode Island School of Design and Indiana University. Based out of St. Louis, I do commercial painting as a day job that is actually at night. My personal work is mostly in oil and watercolor. My paintings run the gamut from bright and assertive to dark and reserved. I paint people, places, and things that resonate with me, but a large part of the significance of the paintings to me is how they are painted.
This night street scene is a recurring subject for me. I grew up on a remote hilltop in rural Missouri with virtually no light pollution. As I grew up I experienced other places such as the one in this painting that most would view as unremarkable. But to me they were strange amalgams of natural and man-made elements lit in almost theatrical street light and building glow. Even though the suburban and exurbia environment is normal and very much American at this point, it is a post-war experiment that many people are now realizing is not sustainable for their towns and cities.
