Born in Newcastle in 1989, Joshua is a hyperrealist artist living and working in London.
Inspired by artists of the Northern Renaissance, Joshua draws on an inherited tradition while producing work with a definitively contemporary approach. Joshua paints in a way that is highly meticulous, producing portraits with a heightened sense of realism, where every surface detail is given equal consideration.
After completing a Foundation in Art & Design at Edinburgh College of Art, Joshua studied Fine Art at the University of Aberystwyth, graduating in 2014 with a First Class Honours. Joshua also spent a year in Paris studying Art History at La Sorbonne.
Joshua was recently elected an Associate Member of the United Society of Artists. Currently living in Camden, Joshua divides his time between working on private commissions and independent projects.
