Justin W John is an acrylic painter who creates abstract spaces with brilliant colors and heavily textured surfaces. His emotive brush and knife work form a visual simile and metaphor, revealing gestural figurative forms among grids and geometric forms. He refers to his work as abstract “landscapes”—not unlike the quiet chaos in our minds.

Inspired by psychology and cognitive processes, he brings diverse elements that bridge internal and external. Translating non-physical states through color, gesture, shape, and texture. Vacillating between intense moments and the more subdued, where the exchange of color feels like ruminating over minutia, anything but accidental—redolent of communication and connection.
