Based in Toronto, ON, Joshua Advincula has held solo exhibitions in Toronto and Montreal, and has exhibited in a number of group exhibitions and zine fairs.
Born to Filipino parents and raised in Toronto, Joshua is a self-taught artist whose evolving and expanding practice is informed by his background in graffiti.
Ever experimental and resourceful, Joshua combines acrylic paints, airbrush, oil pastel, and markers with inventive, figurative results on paper, canvas and other materials.
Abstracted, cartoonish, sometimes grotesque representations of bodies, activities, equipment, and plant life are layered, interwoven and brush up against each other in a mode of visual story-telling that explores the human experience.
Themes of family, friendship, sport, and the act of painting recur throughout his practice and production of work.
