Joshua Spacek

Joshua Spacek is a figurative painter based in the South of France. Before painting he spent years as a professional musician and chef — practices he describes as successive embodied languages, each learned through the hands. He came to painting the same way: self-taught, through sustained looking and making.

His work centers on the human figure in invented and found settings, built from successive layers of oil, oil stick and acrylic— laid down, scraped back, and rebuilt until the surface holds its own history.

His debut solo exhibition was held in September of 2026 at the Musée d'art Moderne et Contemporain de Cordes-Sur-Ciel in Southern France.
