Brother Joshua

Artist Bio

Brother Joshua (1980, United States) is an artist that creates paintings as his operative mode of expression and thought. With a conceptual approach, Joshua addresses finite details in the subjects that he paints and has a strong sense of connection to every work that is created in an effort to purvey absolute truths, whatever those may be.

Brother Joshua’s current focus in art trends toward sociological issues and topics that arouse an emotional response in the viewers. Many of his pieces attempt to show social class tensions in juxtaposition with long-held cognitive dissonance beliefs amongst the viewers in an attempt to hold the proverbial “mirror” up to the audience creating an experience that one has to reckon with and address within themselves about perceived truths versus their actualized reality. A truth seeker by nature, it is imperative to find the relational values within a piece to ensure the symbiosis is completed within an artistic introspection.

Further subjects hint at Joshua’s upbringing and cultural influences that have developed and shaped his evolution, growth, and intellectual understanding. Brother Joshua currently lives and works out of Oklahoma City.
