Joseph Venning is a contemporary painter who specialises in both large scale, wall mural commissions for business, schools, domestic and public spaces and also more visually-challenging, experimental, conceptual painting.

Joseph has recently completed a series of canvas’ and murals for Liverpool iconic Liver building. They will be on permanent public display in the foyer and mezzanine of the building, when it reopens to the public soon.

Last summer Joseph worked with Manchester United and the event 'Bee in the City'. He painted two giant Bee sculptures for public display at Old Trafford stadium and outside the Innside Manchester Hotel. These pieces went to auction at the end of the festival and raised £47,000 for charity

Joseph began his career in the prestigious Chelsea college of art in London. He officially trained as a sculptor and produced experimental multi-media installations before turning his attention solely to painting.

Joseph has continued to produce experimental art work throughout his career but rarely shows it, however this branch of Joseph’s painting has also been gaining some attention recently. Two of these paintings are soon to be included in the prestigious touring ‘New Light Prize Exhibition’ that showcases the best contemporary artwork from throughout the North of England.

Joseph's work has been purchased by members of parliament, hung in the restaurants of Michelin star celebrity chefs, blessed by bishops, shipped to private collections throughout the world and admired by rock stars, footballers and school children alike.
