About the Item

Figurative painting. Asian female theme. On canvas. About the Artist: Justin Love, a native of New York City, has been a painter for 27 years and resides in the "colony of the arts" Woodstock, NY, Negril, Jamaica, Vietnam, and Thailand. An accomplished and recorded musician, singer and composer, painting captured Justin's vivid imagination. He has found himself with a strong successful career as a visual artist with his paintings having an ethereal musical quality. When asked to describe his approach to painting, Love replies "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 are streaming all around, and the collective consciousness of art is guiding my hand...I try not to get in the way." A visit to Justin Love's Woodstock studio, a beautiful one hundred & fifteen year old country church, camouflaged as a tree, renovated and called Loveland, is a trip into the playful mind of an artist who grew up in modern Pop culture. One is 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 one in. Love says "That's the kinda place where I live.’’ In his ouvre of 27 years, Justin Love's best collected works are his brilliant, colorful pastel paintings. Collectors all over the world have responded very enthusiastically to the magical mood Love communicates in his paintings.
