CAAA welcomes Justin Brown to Gallery 41

By Sarah Brown – Managing Editor

The Crisp Area Arts Alliance is thrilled to announce the latest addition to its vibrant arts scene: Cordele native Justin Brown. From now until September 30th, Brown’s compelling artwork will be on display at Gallery 41, located at 302 North 7th Street, Cordele.

Justin Brown, an accomplished painter, illustrator, and mixed media artist, currently resides in Byron and serves as a Visual Arts Instructor at Ballard Hudson Middle School. His unique approach to art is deeply rooted in his fascination with the creative process and the exploration of possibilities from a simple beginning.

Brown’s work is inspired by renowned visual artists such as Jim Mitchell, Harry Ally, and Patrick Parker, whose dedication to offering fresh perspectives on art has profoundly influenced him. Additionally, Brown draws strength and motivation from his family and friends, who have been instrumental in his artistic journey.

The core of Brown’s artistic expression is to build awareness and appreciation for the wonders of life. He believes that through art, people can gain knowledge and inspire change, a mission that resonates with his belief that a lack of understanding can lead to missed opportunities and challenges.

Brown’s creative process emphasizes the fundamental elements of art—line, shapes, form, value, texture, space, and color. By mastering these basics, Brown aims to connect with audiences on a heartfelt level, demonstrating that art can be a powerful tool for escaping life’s hardships and fostering personal expression.

In addition to his physical gallery exhibit, Brown’s work is part of the contemporary critical dialogue on art, reflecting the ideas of theorist Frederick Douglass. For those interested in viewing his art online, Brown’s Instagram @just.in.time.for.aart offers a convenient and accessible platform to experience his creations.

The Crisp Area Arts Alliance invites everyone to explore and be inspired by Justin Brown’s remarkable artwork. Don’t miss the opportunity to witness his art in person at Gallery 41 before September 30th.
