Joshua Clay was born on a cloudy February day in 1983. He is a fine artist in the purest sense of the word, seeking perfection in every aspect of his craft without the use of computers, stencils or projectors. The work
- that Clay creates some would label Illustrative, Lowbrow or even as Pop Surrealism, but to him, it’s his voice in its purest form, untainted by established expectations of what “Fine Art” should look like.
Joshua
- was destined to become an artist, choosing pencil and paper over toys and technology. Throughout his high school years Clay found himself consumed by the act of painting creating over fifty original works and
- several large scale murals. Clay originally attended the Illinois Institute of Art Chicago following High School and later transferred to the College for Creative Studies to pursue his love for illustration.
- Following college Joshua relocated to sunny Los Angeles where he apprenticed under artist, Blaine Fontana. In under 2 years of living and working as a fulltime fine artist Clay found himself immersed in the emerging
- Los Angeles new contemporary art movement.
These days Clay spends his time tucked away in his Chicago studio drawing, painting, and perfecting his craft. With four successful solo exhibits and dozens of
- group exhibits worldwide, Clay has been busy making quite a name for himself. In addition to having his work featured in several books and magazines in recent years, Clay has also caught the attention of the music
- industry creating artwork for bands including Nine Inch Nails, Linkin Park, Gym Class Heroes and Fall Out Boy. Joshua Clay is a name you’ll be seeing again.
