Justin Blayney started with fine art at the Dundas Valley School of Art and was greatly influenced by artists such as Victor Vasarely and Andy Warhol. Now returning to fine art after a 8 hiatus during which time he learned graphic design, website programming and formed the company Darkstar Media.
Justins’ present occupation is still website design yet he is spending more and more time developing his fine art skills and technique. Whether or not it becomes his full time occupation is not as important as the fact that it is a great way to relieve stress and get out of himself for awhile.
Please visit often as the website is constantly being updated with new pieces. Feel free to contact him if you are interested in purchasing, have feedback. or just want to chat.
What happens when you mix a left sided brain with a love of art?
Well, perhaps me. I've always loved painting and drawing and I keep finding
myself using rulers, measurements and geometric shapes. I am fascinated with optical illusions
and trying to create new ones on the canvas. I seem to have no interest
in traditional art and representational work and that's fine, as there
are many people out there who excel at that style of art and I am very
happy with my rulers.
I found that all the years doing website programming and graphic design
have helped me refine my style and I hope that it will keep transforming.
Please enjoy my Portfolio and send me your feedback.
