JOSS CLAPSON

Growing up in the Essex countryside, Joss has continuously drawn from early childhood.

Self-taught and always experimenting with different mediums including ink, pastels, charcoal and oils, Joss has developed her artistic style by drawing inspiration from the reckless youth culture of the 60’s.

Her passion for the fashions and culture of this era feature heavily in her work. By using bright, broken colour and textured, gestural brushwork combined with her own uniquely eccentric flair she brings each scene – and every character -- to life.

"I've always considered colour and texture to be the two main elements in my paintings, the colour helps to captivate the subject with the texture creating a careless and disordered feel to each piece."

With her time in the studio providing a comforting outlet for Joss, the opportunity to be able to share her work with others is a dream come true.
