Joshua Aster's work and influences

I visited Josh's studio before his show at Edward Cella and got to see a lot of the influences that went into these paintings.  a major influence was the generic green basked that fruit comes in at the supermarket.  He drew these from different angles and the triangles you see in the large paintings are distortions of the grid.
