Artist

Joshua Y'Barbo

London, United Kingdom

About

I was born in the United States but spent my formative years in Indonesia. I have studied painting and printmaking at Texas State University before moving to Thailand to teach art. I continued my studies while I was living and working in Los Angeles, CA. I recently completed a Postgraduate Diploma in Fine Art and am current working on a Masters of Fine Art from Chelsea College of Art & Design, London.

Artist statement

My work is based on an infatuation with the mechanical processes of communication, imaging and production. I am also interested in amassing layers of images to illustrate an accumulation of accidents. I tend to use reference materials taken from magazines, on-line sources and my own photography. I have an interest in the universal look of instructional information and create graphics appropriate to this predilection. I use techniques that imply the removal of the artist\\\\\\\'s hand and suggest the depersonalised processes of automated assembly.
