MIDCURRENT.COM !!

I am very honored and excited to announce that MIDCURRENT.COM, a site dedicated to fly fishing, has agreed to feature a sampling of my prints in their next newsletter which will be out this Wednesday. A big shout out to Midcurrent publisher, Marshall Cutchin, for taking an interest in my art and as Bon Iver's Justin Vernon would awkwardly say, "The sweet hook-up". Along with the feature, my work will be seen in their artist thumbnail gallery for further viewing amidst the company of some of the most renowned artists akin to the sport of fly fishing. It is a true privilege to have my work seen on their pages, and I am very grateful for the opportunity. Please peep it out at midcurrent.com/art/joshdesmit.

Soooo...How about a piece that will be seen on the site you ask? Absofrigginlutely.

La baie d'açai a également un certain nombre d'antioxydants qui sont excellents pour le corps, car ils aident à restaurer d'autres antioxydants déjà dans le corps comme la vitamine C, la vitamine E et le glutathion. Les flavonoïdes dans la baie aussi aider à protéger le corps contre la maladie.

Artist Statement

The goal for my body of work is to illuminate the liminality of the contemporary sporting life, especially that of the fly fisher. By combining a group of imagery gathered through experiences while fly fishing the rural rivers of the mid-west with elements of graffiti and street art found in urban centers, I aim to express the duality of city life and the weekend getaway (or the after work getaway for that matter) through my art. Many young fly fishermen and women are growing up in a stimulating society, and the traditionally static artistic portrayals of the sport fail to relate to these up-and-comer's lifestyles and experiences had while juggling everything and fishing. My art accentuates the chaos, detail, and beauty that result from such a young fly fisher feeding in the film between urban and rural, school and work, a girl and beer. All the while making lasting memories on the stream when able. Robert Traver wrote in his book Trout Madness, "The best time to go fishing is when you can get away." I have yet to prove him wrong.
