One to Watch: Justine Rivas

PUBLISHED IN ISSUE 16

JR

Justine Rivas makes magical paintings that come from magical thinking. To become an artist she learned the ideologies spoken between standard lines from trusted sources as other self-truths were sparkling in her proximity. Studying the choreography of her sociocultural context and fitting into the hard reality of her present, she will always recognize, with her sharp intuition, these instances shimmering beneath the surface. She graciously offers us her unique and uncanny mirror. – Alex Heilbron
