JOS is an artist based in the United States whose works have been exhibited nationally. Identifying as a figurative painter, a "highly polished and realistic expression" of a subject is often unreal to him. For JOS, it seems too plastic and frozen. Consequently, in his artistic process, he favors a certain roughness, which he leaves as a building block towards achieving a more dynamic feel in his compositions. He most often creates using acrylics, oils, and graphite on paper.
