@ The Artist
This work comes in a white frame with anti-reflexive UV protected glass
The work of Justin Hibbs is entirely dedicated to the reassessment of the legacy of Modernism and particularly Constructivism. In this work the artist transforms the perspective of a concrete interior into an enigmatic new space. The bars which occupy the foreground are inspired by old grids from Mexico and are painted with a lush blue paint amplifying the contrast with the black and white three-dimensional abstract background composition. Yet these two elements seem to form a logical and readable architectural cityscape, where perception is in reverse.
