Cornish teal Painting

"Josh Sim is a force of nature, his zest for life being evident in the colour loaded gestural paintings of his homeland. A man of unusual disposition combining strength of character, work ethic, and charm, Josh epitomises 'the triumph of positive attitude', the essence of which is within both the intention and fabric of his paintings. Intrinsic to his depictions of sea and horizon' is his capturing of a visceral energy to do with a first hand knowledge that only Josh, a valued previous member of the Penlee lifeboat crew could hope to achieve. An artist of many layers, some of which are based on his fascinating off-kilter art family legacy (Troika Pottery). Josh is a creatively independent spirit - it is in his blood". (Linda Styles)
