Joshua Charadias at N Smith Gallery

 On Thursday last week third show for the evening for Yianni and I was at N. Smith Gallery in Paddington. The paintings are atmospheric and calm, featuring lovely striations of blurred light. It’s as if a photo of a city were taken during the night and the camera had been moved at the moment of snapping the shutter.

The paintings are all similar however, and while this allows you to get a better idea of what the artist needs to communicate, it reduces the show to a simple style. The notes given out at the door badly needed proofreading, they were full of errors. I read through the notes hoping to find inspiration but the text is not highly sophisticated, or else it’s TOO sophisticated to be properly understood.
