JXSH MVIR: Forever I Live is the first major solo retrospective exhibition of the late Josh Muir.
During his relatively short, yet prolific career, Josh produced a vast range of paintings and digital artworks that were characterised by a unique vernacular of contemporary iconography, developed by the artist over the course of his career.
He embraced digital methods of production and a visual language influenced by street art, a pop aesthetic and incorporating various forms of design. His works maintain the continuous tradition of storytelling that is inseparable from his cultural identity as a Gunditjmara, Yorta Yorta and Barkindji man.
His artworks draw on a range of themes including cultural identit and the impacts and legacies of colonisation, extending to more personal experiences of mental health, addiction, loss and grief.
JXSH MVIR: Forever I Live is co-curated by Josh’s partner Shanaya Sheridan, his mother Justine Berg and the curatorial team at KHT.
