Joshua Bristow 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 Diploma in Drawing at the Royal Drawing School; and both a Masters and Part III Postgraduate Certificate in Architecture at the London Metropolitan University. He has been invited as a guest critic at the London School of Architecture with experience teaching and lecturing drawing and architecture at Cambridge University, the Architectural Association, Kingston University and the Royal Academy of Arts “Outreach Programme”.
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 (2023), and the Green & Stone Summer Show (2024).
