Joss Clapson

Growing up in the Essex countryside, Joss has continuously drawn from early childhood. She is a self-taught artist and is continuously experimenting with different mediums that interest her. Including Ink, pastels, charcoal and oils. She uses these to try out different styles of creating her vision. She has developed a style taking inspiration from the reckless youth culture of the 1960’s and has a huge admiration for the Hollywood 1980's aesthetic. Giving her work as UK based artist, a sense of escapism into a film like universe. Her passion for culture and glamour translates into her work she creates a unique, glossy eccentric style. She says: ''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.'' Her time in the studio provides a sanctuary for Joss, the opportunity to be able to create and share her work on her own terms is empowering and she is represented by several galleries across the UK.
