Joshua Singer's paintings are constructed from paints derived from industrial pigments. Some of these pigments are commonly used in the automotive and plastics industry; one is used in the manufacture of the coatings of NATO warplanes.

Singer's apparently minimalist work alludes to the cultural baggage of his chosen materials, while implicating the viewer through mirror-like painted surfaces achieved using traditionally-based glazing and varnishing techniques.

 
   

 

Shown in combination with the paintings, Singer's video work explores the formal and moral conventions of narrative construction through his manipulation of appropriated cinema, "handmade" images, and found audio.

 

Joshua Singer is a graduate of Hampshire College and Hunter College in New York and has exhibited at Julian Pretto Gallery, NYC and White Columns, NYC. Following his exhibition at Momenta, Singer has screened work at various venues including Brooklyn Museumof Art, Brooklyn, NY, Gavin Brown Enterprise, NYC, and the Worldwide Video Festival, Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
