Check out Josh's work on Instagram @josh_simpson_artist and www.joshsimpson.com.au

Josh Simpson is a Melbourne-based visual artist whose work explores the threshold between fantasy and reality. Filled with visual tropes and clichés his work playfully comments on contemporary experience and his place within it. Imbued with whimsy and unease, his bold use of colour, gentle gradients and layered surfaces are both arresting and unsettling. Simpson holds a Master of Fine Arts (2022) from the University of Tasmania. He has been a finalist in a number of Australian art prizes and his work is held in collections across Australia. Get Lost, is from his 2017 series Out of Sight. Shaped by exotic tropes and clichés Out of Sight presents a dark and seductive paradise that is both arresting and unsettling. The work examines ‘exoticised place’ (often portrayed through social media, tourism and film) teasing the space between authentic and inauthentic, masking and mocking notions of paradise.
