Biography

JOSHUA WALLACE
Vancouver, BC

Josh Wallace was born in Vernon, British Columbia in 1995. He graduated from University of Victoria with a Bachelors of Fine Arts in 2022 and currently lives in Vancouver. He has exhibited in British Columbia and has work held in both private and public collections such as the Vernon Public Art Gallery.

Inspired by historical painting, Wallace incorporates traditional techniques to create contemporary imagery. His subjects are friends, family and the landscape, using them to experiment with narratives, compositions and the medium.


“After having become more comfortable with portraiture, I began broadening my painting to other subjects such as landscape. First inspired by my high-school teacher Brian Monteith's acrylic landscapes, then slowly onto the Group of Seven's traditional post impressionist oil landscapes.”
