Justin Armstrong

Justin Armstrong (b. 1988, Birmingham, Alabama) received his M.F.A. in Painting at Savannah College of Art & Design in March 2020, where he also received a B.F.A. in Painting in June 2016. He has shown work at the Department of Education in Washington, DC, SCAD at Design Miami, and Gutstein Gallery in Savannah, GA. His paintings feature color-rich interplay between lines, grids, and holographic light to create intense perceptual encounters, with frequent references to digital screens, gradients, and pixelation. Armstrong poeticizes form, volume, and light in his digital work via simplified geometry enveloped in complex arrangements of hue and value gradients. He currently lives and works in Leeds, Alabama.
