J Youngwood (b. 1993) is an artist dealing mainly in the two-dimensional. They are currently based in Minneapolis, MN.
Youngwood explores the intimacy and material challenge of translating small-scale ink and marker sketches into paintings. Combining elements of nature, landscape, and fantasy, their paintings mimic as well as transform parts of drawings into new compositions that can stand on their own as works of art. Youngwood received their BFA in Painting and Drawing from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee in 2016 and has been exhibiting in group shows nationally. They are represented by The Alice Wilds.
