Joshua Horkey is a mixed-media artist working with commercial language and mass imagery as material. His paintings are built through layering, removal, and suppression, where legibility breaks down and structure remains.
Working primarily on wood panels with paper, acrylic, and reclaimed materials, Horkey constructs surfaces that are repeatedly overwritten. Letterforms persist within the work, but shift from communication to weight—functioning as structure rather than message.
His background in fashion and graphic design informs an engagement with visual systems and reproduction, though these references are increasingly destabilized within the work itself.
Horkey’s work has been featured at Mesa Contemporary Art Museum (Mesa, AZ) and is included in the permanent collection of the Moleskine Foundation (Milan, Italy). His exhibitions include a solo show at BIG ARTS (Sanibel Island, FL), Art Miami fairs, and group exhibitions across the United States and internationally.
