Art, in its highest form, is both a mirror and a prism.

Based in London, Justin began painting full-time in 2022, devoting himself to an evolving investigation of the human form, gesture, and abstraction.

His work is driven by a fascination with the paradox at the heart of painting: that images which appear immediate and tangible are, in fact, abstract constructions, arrangements of colour, tone, and shape designed to persuade the eye. The way a single, swiftly daubed stroke of paint can evoke the curve of a hand, an ear, or a lock of hair. Justin’s paintings move fluidly between figuration and abstraction, using paint not simply to depict but to reveal underlying rhythms and structures of what we see.

Justin studied at Wimbledon School of Art before continuing his education in sculpture at Saint Martin’s. Before returning to painting, he spent more than two decades as an entrepreneur, founding and leading a successful software company. Having since exchanged the world of business for the studio, he is now fully immersed in the discipline of painting.
