Juliette Losq (born 1978, London, UK) is a London-based contemporary artist known for photorealistic pieces.[1] [2] She is the recipient of several awards for her art.[3] Her work is part of the permanent collection at the Saatchi Gallery,[4] the All Visual Arts collection,[5] and in Cambridge's New Hall Art Collection.[6]

Losq received a BA in English Literature and Art History at Newnham College, Cambridge, commencing her studies in 1997. In 2001, Losq received a Master of Arts in 18th century British and French Art from Courtauld Institute of Art.[1] She graduated with a BA in Fine Art: Painting from Wimbledon College of Arts in 2007.[7] She was awarded her MA in Fine Art from Royal Academy Schools in 2010.[1]

Awards[]

As a first year undergraduate arts student, Losq won the Jerwood Drawing Prize, the UK’s most prestigious drawing competition. The chair of the judges panel commented: “The most staggering thing after we decided on the winner, of course we didn’t know her name, was that it was a student – a first year BA student – who happened to go to Wimbledon College of Art.”[8]

In 2010 she received the first place Winsor & Newton Painting Prize.[9]

In 2014 she was voted John Moores Painting Prize Visitors’ Choice for her watercolor work Vinculum, described as "a stunning feat, belying the usual expectations of a watercolour... with its dizzying sense of perspective and incredible detail."[3]

She was awarded the John Ruskin Prize 2019, a multi-disciplinary award for those "artists, designers and makers whose work defies easy categorisation".[10]
