About the Artwork: This series of paintings by Josh Rowell contains a list of the 50 most frequently used #’s on Instagram at the time they were made. Josh Rowell has developed a visual coding system for language that he paints by hand as a way of acknowledging a world that is becoming more reliant on technology. The 'Painting Language' series meets at a cross section of art, technology and language.

Artist Biography: Josh Rowell generates his artistic vision by focusing on technological advances that shape our contemporary lives, communicating our increasingly mediated human interactions within the confines of visual art. The artist balances analogue techniques with the instantaneous nature of the digital age. This juxtaposition produces a language that explores and reshapes information, and celebrates the hand-made in a time that is increasingly being enveloped by the virtual.

All his works are underpinned by a coding system. The language of colour, pattern, and form, is seen as dots laboriously covering canvases. These sequences, which the artist developed himself, read as a codified statement to create new forms of visual text that explore the possibilities and boundaries of expression and information.
