What gets illuminated in the moment-to-moment continuum between human thought and our sensory intelligence? Finding balance through binaries, Justin Price explores issues of part to whole, integration and dislocation, presence and absence, subject and world, image and object, dimensionality, illusion, sustainability, and inspired creation through consumption—an engagement that provokes the viewer toward experiential outcomes in beingness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eJustin Price was born in Los Gatos, California, and raised in Denver, Colorado. He received a BFA from Academy of Art University in San Francisco and an MFA from Colorado State University in Fort Collins. His work investigates medium specificities, exploring the mark-making process to articulate an experience of space. Ambiguous images of fashionable \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003ebeings and objects alluding to the body are simultaneously accentuated and absorbed by their fluid formalist environments, inviting contemplation on the social relationship between these figures and the ambivalence of their world.

At its core, a confident woman steps forward in a runway-ready yellow Rick Owens outfit. This striking figure floats above a spirited backdrop of color blocks, polka dots, bold lines, and geometric shapes—all rendered in vivid shades of yellow, green, teal, blue, peach, pink, purple, and red.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe energy of the painting is electric yet artfully balanced. The visual chaos of patterns and texture—swirling, layered brushwork—resolves into a cohesive harmony, making the piece feel exciting rather than overwhelming. The fashion-forward figure grounds the composition, delivering both style and narrative amid the vibrant collage of abstract forms.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere’s an intentional harmony between the figure and her surroundings—the abstract background isn’t just a burst of color and form, it echoes the tactile quality of Rick Owens’s signature fabrics. The relationship between figure and background adds an additional layer of meaning. The layered textures, geometric breaks, and flowing patterns parallel the way Owens’s garments move, fold, and hold shape, creating a subtle but intentional connection between the high-fashion subject and the expressive environment she inhabits. This dialogue between art and design ties the piece to Owens’s Los Angeles roots, where his career began and where urban grit and luxury style often share the same space.The layered textures, geometric breaks, and fluid patterns mirror the drape, movement, and structural edge of his garments, creating a visual bridge between the high-fashion subject and the expressive canvas that surrounds her. This connection grounds the piece in both art and design, making \"Wearing Rick Owens in West Hollywood\" as much a nod to Owens’s Los Angeles legacy as it is a celebration of Justin Price’s mastery of color, texture, and compositional balance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ehttps:\/\/youtu.be\/0aaOSZnBpS8?si=jXRacHHZDU4XmFMA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0aaOSZnBpS8\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e","brand":"Justin Price","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53645487341932,"sku":null,"price":2200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0957\/9023\/6012\/files\/FullSizeRender-3-scaled.jpg?v=1776881673"},{"product_id":"disintegrate-my-blue-skies","title":"Disintegrate My Blue Skies","description":"\u003cb\u003eDisintegrate My Blue Skies \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDescription:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Disintegrate My Blue Skies\" by Justin Price explores the push and pull between melancholy and joy through layered abstraction and figurative detail. The composition features two women whose faces are painted with realistic precision, while their bodies dissolve into a vivid patchwork of color. Surrounding them, the textured background exists on the same visual plane—blurring the boundary between figure and space—its dense layering creating a sense of depth, movement, and emotional complexity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe palette shifts between two worlds. One side is grounded in deep, moody tones of rich burgundy, royal blue, crimson, and slate gray, suggesting calm introspection and a quiet, ocean-like melancholy. In contrast, the other side bursts with green, magenta, and neon yellow—energized hues that radiate optimism. These flashes of color, often emerging from the figures themselves, suggest that the women are the source of light and resilience amid the turbulence, symbolic anchors that turn a difficult day toward hope.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePrice’s mastery of oil paint is evident in the intricate layering of texture, color, and form. The interplay of controlled realism in the faces with the expressive abstraction of the bodies and background creates a dynamic tension. Every brushstroke and patch of color works in conversation, producing a cohesive whole that feels both emotionally grounded and visually alive.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Disintegrate My Blue Skies\" is ideal for collectors who value contemporary figurative art that merges abstraction with storytelling.

The layered arrangement rewards close inspection, revealing subtle textures and unexpected relationships between shapes and colors.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePrice’s mastery of oil painting allows him to incorporate a range of techniques, from precise geometric patterns to loose, expressive brushwork.
