Sculptural Impressionist Paintings

Artist Justin Gaffrey Creates Enthrallingly Texture Artworks

— March 13, 2014 — Art & Design
Justin Gaffrey, an artist based in Walton County, Florida, has brought new life to the impressionist art form. Although still full of bold strokes, movement and a gorgeous focus on lighting, Justin Gaffrey's work blurs the line between paintings and sculptures by adding a dimension of texture that makes the art jump right out at its audience.

Working with pure acrylic paints, Justin Gaffrey, a one time chef and restauranteur, essentially sculpts with paint. As written on his website, "He credits a viewing of Van Gogh’s 'Sunflowers' as the epiphany that sent him searching for a medium and a technique that would allow him to achieve the deeply textured, multi-dimensional work he crafts today." Utterly enthralling, his work can be seen in galleries across the United States.
