Using a variety of mediums, Justus Roe creates large-scale artwork including interior and exterior wall paintings, sculpture, installations, and canvas painting exploring the intersection between wild style graffiti aesthetics and traditional abstraction. Influenced by architecture, city grid systems, and abstract art, 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 has worked with a variety of clients including city governments, architects, design firms, developers, NPO’s, urban planning firms, private clients and art organizations, managing significant budgets, deadlines and logistics. Recent projects in Chicago and beyond include: the over 9000 sqft Roncesvalle Pedestrian Bridge in Toronto, the Wabash Arts Corridor 6500 sqft painting at 1001 S. State St., and 4,500 sqft large-scale municipal project for the City of Bloomington Indiana. In addition his work is featured in the University of Chicago William Eckhardt Research Center lobby, the entrance to 1871 tech startup space inside the Merchandise Mart, entrance to Zeno Group / Edelman offices in the Aon Center, the office headquarters for Callahan Capital Properties and the entrance for the Le Meridien hotel in Oakbrook IL.Roe’s interest in art started in the late eighties influenced by subway and street painting, and eventually 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 and throughout Chicago.
