Artist Statement:
Since design, imagery,
materials and techniques are
optimally adapted to what is
being communicated and because
of ongoing experiments with
techniques and alternative
materials the existing body of
work is of such a diversity
not one single artwork covers
the cargo. Both the full body
of work and each individual
artwork is an artistic
crucible of photographic,
digital and traditional
drawing, painting and collage
techniques, different and
often alternative materials
(such as metal, moss and sand)
and several art styles.

Inspired by the human psyche,
nature, cosmic processes, the
spiritual and occult, voice is
given to inner awareness, the
whimsicality and
stratification of life, the
beauty of imperfection, the
value of detail, mood and
often strong emotions are
being expressed. All in a
unique personal style that
wanders around in the twilight
zone between abstraction,
expressionism, realism,
surrealism, magic realism and
spiritualism.

The artwork is characterized
by particularly strong and
interesting compositions, a
both physical and conceptual
stratification and a tangible
tension between the introvert
and the expressive. Except
playfull, expressive, honest
and direct it mostly is also
intens, imploring, penetrating
and confronting....

Reviews for Josien Vos:



Review Floral Abstractions I

We appreciate the impact these prints have and we could only imagine the effect at their actual size, which is quite large, and must certainly be even more impressive.

The extreme closeups have an honesty and directness with no tricks or filters or attempts to make them appear what they are not. The message is in the composition. They arrive very close to being abstract images and can be appreciated for this but the recognition of the forms of Nature gives them a heightened importance.

They also express a fragility and subtlety of color and the attention to detail is exemplary. A crisp, clear presence which struck us as photography, (if a category is needed) and not digital prints, regardless of the process used to realize these works. Mostly this is due to the technical ability which is apparant, and the eye behind the lens and not neccesarily the eye in front of the monitor.
