He credits a viewing of Van Gogh’s “Sunflowers” as the epiphany that sent him searching for a medium, and a technique that would allow him to achieve the deeply textured, multidimensional work he crafts today. JUSTIN GAFFREY LIVE This lot benefits: Food for Thought Witness the magic happen before your eyes. Justin Gaffrey will create a one of kind piece LIVE at Saturday’s Reserve Tasting & Walkabout. Immediately following, this original work of art will be auctioned off, on stage, at our Live Auction. Stop over and join the fun, who knows you might be some inspiration! About the Artist: It was as a renowned chef and restaurant owner that Justin first expressed his creative drive. The love he felt for the act of creating was what ultimately drove him from the daily grind of the restaurant business, to the purely creative life of the visual artist. Working now exclusively with pure acrylic paints (no fillers are used) and using mostly the palette knife, he produces works of breathtaking beauty and complexity. His technique might best be described as “sculpting with paint.” Most works utilize colors that are extraordinarily vibrant, but he also produces wonderful soft palettes of muted tones, sometimes working entirely in white. While the subject matter is varied, his works are all reflections of the beauty he finds in the natural world that surrounds him daily along Highway 30-A. His work is now widely collected and graces venues throughout the United States. Justin creates only original works and sells them exclusively through his Galleries in Seaside, Florida and his Gallery/Studio in Blue Mountain Beach, Florida.
