Joshua Armitage

Joshua Armitage (b. Dewsbury, West Yorkshire, 1986) lives and works in London. Armitage works primarily with painting and drawing. His painting practice is concerned with the intersections of observation, memory and feeling, combining sensory experience with various approaches to applying paint in the hope of conveying, replicating or conjuring remembered experiences from his past. His work has a particular interest in place and often looks at how architecture is imbued with spirituality, memory and feeling.

Notable exhibitions include Dialogues No.01 at the Centre for Recent Drawing, London UK, a presentation at Sunday Painter gallery as part of Condo 2020, curated by Lulu gallery Mexico City, “Hope” is the thing with feathers at South Parade, Deptford, London and Moderato Cantabile at Stoppenbach and Delestre, London. Most recently Josh has worked on a self initiated residency project with Wakefield based artist Zoë Carlon resulting in a publication and exhibition in Leeds and London.
