Joshua Greenfield

PAINTER

Joshua Greenfield is a Canadian self taught artist living in Toronto. He is inspired by artists such as Dali, Van Gogh, and Chagall. He aims to convey emotion through colour and brushstroke in his work in a technique which he describes as “Expressive Illustration-Painting”. These paintings aim to play on light and shadow using the Chiaroscuro method, and are constantly evolving as part of his practice. Through his work, he aims to capture the aura of an individuals’ body and spirit. In this show’s pieces, Greenfield aims to explore ancient ideals of male machismo in combination with focus on anatomy and the dance of light across a subject

Joshua has spent time all over Canada which has given him a rich appreciation for Canada and its history. He has been living in Toronto for around twelve years, and holds a BA in Political Science from Athabasca University. He has worked many different careers, but art remains his true passion and purpose in life.
