Justin Love, a self taught artist, is a native of New York City. He has been painting for sixteen years and now lives in the Woodstock, New York area, an area rich in fine arts legacy. An accomplished and recorded musician, singer, and composer, painting captured Justin's imagination and he found himself with a successful career as a visual artist. Asked to describe his approach to painting, Love says "It's as if I am riding a bicycle down a hill, as fast as I am able, with the wind blowing through my hair, feeling ecstatically alive, colors streaming all around, and the collective consciousness of art guiding my hand. I try not to get in the way."
A visit to Justin's Woodstock studio, a one hundred and four year old country church called Loveland, is a trip into the playful mind of an artist who grew up in modern Pop culture. You are transported into a surreal kaleidoscope of mythical creatures, electrified mysteries, impossible hues, and poetic passion all spinning with musical abandon. A simple sign "miracles" invites you in. Love says "That's what he wants
and that's what he'll have".Having sold more than 1,600 works of art, Justin has recently become absorbed in the creation of his new electric light paintings. These paintings light the room instead of one having to light the painting. The effect is very 21st century and this being the 21st century, their time has come.
Justin Love is currently recording a new album with his band at the legendary Big Pink. For a studio taste, please look at the website www.justinlove.com
