Josh Gondo

(1999)

JOSHUA L.G.S (b. 1999, Hong Kong) is a Jakarta-based representational artist whose practice is rooted in drawing and painting. Having cultivated a strong interest in drawing from an early age, he pursued studies in Sequential Arts at the Savannah College of Art and Design. During his time there, he was mentored by painters Thomas Dang Vu and Kalok Ng, who introduced him to academic painting practices and helped shape his enduring commitment to the medium. Following graduation, Joshua initially sought a career in the comic book industry before redirecting his focus toward painting. This shift marked the beginning of his engagement with fine arts as a professional pursuit, making his debut at Art Jakarta Gardens 2025. Joshua’s current practice aims to reaffirm the relevance of representational art within contemporary artistic discourse and to expand its presence in the art market.
