Justus Roe
Using a variety of mediums, Justus Roe creates large-scale artwork including interior and exterior wall paintings, sculpture, installations, and canvas painting exploring the intersection between wild style graffiti aesthetics and abstraction. Influenced by architecture, city grid systems, and abstract art, the works are reminiscent of aerial perspectives and metropolitan environments.
Often in collaboration with architects, designers, curators and clients, Roe creates unique, iconic works of art that help to engage audiences and define specific environments. Roe’s interest in art started in the late eighties influenced by subway and street painting, and eventually went on to study Fine Art at the University of Illinois Urbana Champaign and Media Arts MFA at Columbia. He keeps an active studio and public practice, and has created works in Los Angeles, Washington D.C., Toronto and throughout Chicago.
