About Des Moines Iowa Artist Josh Sorrell
Des Moines Iowa artist Josh Sorrell (1979) produces representational artwork altered by abstract elements. Josh explores the relentless forces that manipulate our constantly evolving identity. Subjects are often presented within a surreal atmosphere that support a feeling of isolation and self discovery. This focus on combining both real and imaginary components allows the viewer to create their own unique connection to each work.
