Joshua Raz (b.1993) is a British painter. Interested in the contemporary milieu, his work aims to reflect and interrogate artificialities. Exploring the individual versus community, authority and anthropological observations, he aims to present spliced landscapes and warped perspectives.
He has participated in several group exhibitions nationally and has been the subject of two solo exhibitions. In 2016 he won The Hix Award.
In 2017, Art of Wishes and Philips commissioned Raz to create a painting based on a child’s wish. He created 'Green Lights Above a Blue Planet and Man Amongst It All' (2017), inspired by Oakley, a nine-year-old boy living with Stevens-Johnson Syndrome, whose wish was to go and see the Northern Lights. This work was auctioned at the inaugural Art of Wishes Gala in 2017, courtesy of the artis and Phillips.
