The Promise of the Image

Every product suggests itself first as an imagistic extension of one’s body and mind: consuming, being clothed, experiencing a situation, being enhanced, or encountering pleasure. Even an ergonomically designed shampoo bottle is the anthropomorphic picture of an imagined hand. Critical viewers typically regard such representations with conscious skepticism and probably as often with unconscious approval. “The Pathos of Things,” at Carriage Trade, puts such contradictions under scrutiny. The show is studious about the portrayal of objects as images, eschewing spectacle and focusing on the way that viewers absorb products first as visual promises.

Listen to Glen Josselsohn talks about his Painting 'The Reeds with Birds'

Glen Josselsohn's Art Exhibition at the Cow Art Works Parkhurst, Johannesburg, South Africa, 31st Jan 2013. ''The way I paint is unique! My Art is a buzz with energy and movement. The last person who had a similar style was Jackson Pollock. I’ve been using a drip technique, it’s interesting, and it’s contemporary''
