Josh Windram is an Australian artist based in WA’s South West. Initially, Josh was using art as therapy to get him through a very dark part of his life. However, art is now his passion and livelihood.
Josh’s works depict a contemporary abstraction of the inspirational Australian scenery. He takes advantage of contrast to produce dramatic skies against rugged landscape adding opposite complimentary colours and balancing neutrals to create works that are truly unique.
A strong sense of space, beauty and drama are portrayed through Josh’s use of various techniques that also give his artworks harmonious balance. His two very distinct styles both contain a striking straight horizon line.
As an intuitive artist, his works are generally not of a particular location but are inspired completely by the vast Australian scenery.
In 2019 Josh received the ‘People’s Choice’ Award at the Bunbury Catholic College Art Extraordinaire for his entry, ‘Shimmer’. In this same year he also held his first duo exhibition with his mother, renowned Kimberley artist, Ingrid Windram. The exhibition was held at JahRoc Galleries in Margaret River and was opened by the amazing Helen Norton. All bar one of Josh’s paintings sold before the closing of the exhibition.
In 2021 Josh was awarded First Prize at the Vasse Art Awards for his piece ‘Everlong’. In 2021 he also received the People’s Choice award for his piece ‘Amazing Grace’ at the Bunbury Catholic College Art Extraordinaire and was a Finalist in the Busselton Art Award with his work ‘Into The Light’.
2022 brought Josh more People’s Choice awards. He received the Bunbury Catholic College Art Extraordinaire People’s Choice award for his piece ‘My Happiness’ as well as the People’s Choice award for ‘Shine Like It Does’ at the Margaret River Independent School Art Auction.
His first solo exhibition was held in 2024 at Black Stump Gallery in Broome.
