‘A Constant State of Becoming’ is an online exhibition by Joshua Perkin comprising a series of 17 original pieces, painted using acrylic and household paints, across canvas and paper. Drawn from the imagination, Joshua’s works, which utilise a predominantly Mediterranean palette, have a distinctive ambiguity that’s devoid of any factual representation; each painting is ethereally untied to any era or geographic place. 

Naturally curious, Joshua got into painting at a young age, while living in the British countryside and growing up around manual work and their flocks of sheep; painting provided a creative outlet. Labour work has become a key narrative throughout his works — formalising it through academia while completing a Masters in artistic production in Barcelona, where he became interested in artistic depictions of traditional labour and the African-American folk art movement. 

This collection is his expression of how the human identity is constantly in flux — it’s an endless evolution as we respond to the world around us. A Constant State of Becoming is not just an exhibition title then, but a personal manifesto for how to live. Of listening so intently, we find joyful noise in the silence. And hear the things that are left unsaid.
