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 the Courtauld Institute of Art.

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.” [7]

In 2010 she received the first place Winsor & Newton Painting Prize. [8]

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". [9]

Junko Mori is a Japanese artist based in Wales. Working primarily in metalwork sculpture, Mori’s works are aggregate pieces usually connected thematically and visually to her observations of living matter, particularly plants. Her choice of metal varies widely from silver to mild steel, as does the size and scale of her works, which range from smaller tabletop pieces to largescale sculptures. Her distinctive style is one of contrasts and blending, drawing on her metalworking and sculptural education in both Japan and the UK, as well as constantly blurring the boundaries between so-called 'fine art' and craft. She has been described as "one of the most innovative and exciting Japanese metal artists working today," and has exhibited widely internationally throughout the past several decades. Her work can be found in the collections around the world, including the British Museum, the Victoria & Albert Museum, and the Honolulu Museum of Art.
