Josh Keyes was born in Tacoma, Washington. He received a BFA in 1992 from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and an MFA in 1998 from Yale University. Keyes currently lives and works in Portland Oregon.
Josh Keyes‘ style is reminiscent of the diagrammatic vocabulary found in scientific textbook illustrations
that often express through a detached and clinical viewpoint an
empirical representation of the natural world. Assembled into this
virtual stage set are references to contemporary events along with
images and themes from his personal mythology. Josh Keyes’ work is a
hybrid of eco-surrealism and dystopian folktales that express a concern
for our time and the Earth’s future.
