Joshua Bristow MA Cantab Dip MArch ARB

Joshua is an artist & architect based in London whose work explores themes of architecture, ruination and the changing landscape. His practice of printmaking is heavily underpinned by drawing from both observation and memory. This oscillation allows him to interrogate the spatial, tectonic and poetic qualities within urban and natural landscapes.

Joshua has experience in both architecture and the arts, having completed a BA in Architecture at the University of Cambridge, a Postgraduate scholarship in Drawing at the Royal Drawing School; and both a Masters and Part III Postgraduate Certificate in Architecture at the London Metropolitan University.

In 2018, he won the Bainbridge Prize for Contemporary Printmaking. Selected Group exhibition highlights include: Christie’s, London (2017), Buckingham Palace via the Royal Drawing School (2018, 2019 & 2022), the RA Summer Show (2019), the Architecture Drawing Prize, Soanne Museum (2021), the Trinity Buoy Wharf Working Drawing Prize (2021-2022), the International Original Print Exhibition, Bankside (2022), the Bainbridge Open (2018, 2023 & 2025), and the Green & Stone Summer Show (2024 & 2025).

His prints and drawings are held within various international collections. Highlights of which include The Royal Collection, The Moritz-Heyman Collection, The David Ross Collection & The Dumfries House Estate Collection.
