Justin Simcik was born in Austin, Texas in 1976 and spent most summer days during his childhood alongside his father, learning the construction trade. He then moved to Seattle to start his own company as a specialty contractor fabricating and installing ceramic and natural stone tile. After a client noted the artistic quality of his tile work, he decided to pursue art full time. He completed a bachelor of fine arts degree majoring in both painting and sculpture from Cornish College of the Arts in 2003. He is represented by Take121 Arts in Nashville. |

Artist Statement
“My work explores the idea of using various industrial materials as ‘paint.’ By wrapping and layering materials such as fiberglass screen, polytarp, PVC, landscape fabric, duct tape, mesh tape and safety tape I began to formulate ‘construction art.’ I found these high-performance, synthetic materials produced visual interest. Most importantly, I use the inherent color of each material as both a surface substrate and color palette.” |
