Ceiling Fan

Joshua Perkin’s art explores traditional concepts of labour and its relationship to artistic production. Merging a myriad of abstracted visual references from his global travels, he creates a distinctive painted universe void of specific geographic tags. His enigmatic narratives intentionally withhold conceptual information, prompting viewers to question the socio-political contexts of his characters. Relying on manual trial and error, Joshua lives in his studio, where he builds his own frames, stretches canvases, and works on multiple pieces simultaneously.

Born in Shuckburgh, England, Joshua has been based in Spain since 2013. His practice is deeply informed by years spent building international skateparks across Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. He later formalised this research, earning an MA in Artistic Production and Investigation from the University of Barcelona.

"My main influences are generally my surroundings and experiences. Although the majority of my painted images are abstracted from reality, my immediate surroundings usually seem to creep into the work... whether it is in the colour palette, visual narratives or reference to form."
