Justin Blayney creates geometric shapes with acrylic
paint to produce optical illusions and thought-
provoking contemporary art. His current work is a
mixture of pixelated patterns, portraits and figures,
and he is always looking for ways to combine the
three into new work.
With a background in graphic
design and all his artwork starting in Photoshop,
Justin is able to fully realize his vision from start to
finish. Justin owns Darkstar Media, a Toronto-based web development company
which allows him to blend both the creative and technical. His current artistic
direction is mimicking the computer and how computers generate images.
FIBONACCI EINSTEIN
By Justin Blayney
Artist Statement
Justin Blayney is inspired by people who maximize the use of their brain and use
it to come up with new and innovative ways of thinking about the world around us;
those who notice the patterns amongst us and use those patterns to help further
our understanding of the universe. From that starting point, Justin decided to
celebrate two great mathematicians, Albert Einstein and Fibonacci. The pixel
pattern painting of Einstein uses the Fibonacci sequence, also known as the
golden ratio, one of the amazing and naturally occurring patterns in this world.
