The Art of Joshua Benmore

96 pages 7.75 x 9.75 in, 20 x 25 cm

Wildflowers from the lost and found is a hardcover art book presenting a selection of artwork and paintings. From street art to fashion illustration to behind the scenes looks at the creation and processes of Joshuas work. In his work, JB subverts and juxtaposes, touching on themes of religion, consumerism and obsession with popular culture. He uses fashion, humour and emotion alongside meticulous brushstrokes, sharp graphite lines and dripping spraypaint layers.

Among interpretations of familiar faces like Marilyn Monroe, Lindsay Lohan and Lana Del Rey, you'll find a collection of Mickey Mouse earred, flower infused, space age, lunar love goddesses such as Playgirl Daphne and Confessions of a Teenage Convict. Wildflowers is an anthology of acrylic covered hands, multicolour water, and painting into the violet hour. Actualised and inspired at the sunflower dream coast, this book showcases Joshua Benmores mix of fine art, street art, and pop culture influences - from the archives of the lost and found.
