Justice Roe
A couple of notes about the design:
In Situ, create an inspiring, dynamic, showstopping painting that abstractly reflects the surrounding natural landscape and is inspired by the environment and history of the Village of Glen Ellyn. This site specific, impactful place-making painting will integrate into the surrounding environment and activates the entire curved surface of the tunnel while engaging with pedestrians and cyclists.
JUSTUS ROE (Chicago, b. 1977) lives and works in Chicago.
Using a variety of mediums, Justus Roe creates immersive large-scale artwork including interior and exterior wall paintings, sculpture, installations, and canvas painting. Developed In-Situ, the work explores the intersection between wild style aesthetics and abstraction. Influenced by architecture, city design, geometry and landscapes, 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 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, throughout Chicago and the Midwest.
