Jeremiah Jossim
Jeremiah Jossim's paintings are an amalgamation of imagined and remembered space. They speak to his fondness for the natural environment and interest in how we live on the land. The work experiments with the landscapes formal elements but also touches upon its deep connection to being human. His pictures look at the landscape as an object of nostalgia and memory especially relating to the perception of home. He is interested in the recollections of places that are deeply rooted in memory and the subconscious, areas that he will never be able to fully separate from himself. Jossim paints that feeling of uncertainty and reminiscence he has for the places he’s known and the homes he wishes to see in the land. The idea and architecture of home is an integral part of his painting. He is fascinated by the legacy of where we come from and how it can be a place, a structure, or even an archetype. These paintings investigate the shape and the feeling of the land, exploring the landscapes psychological effect on our personal sense of place.
