This Friday, November 16th, California artist Justin White will finally be receiving his very first solo exhibit at the world renowned, Los Angeles-based, pop-culture-centric Gallery 1988‘s Melrose location. In the press release, the gallery predicts that it will “no doubt be one of the most surprising debuts of the year,” while making the statement that, “You may not know Justin White’s name yet, but come this Friday, he will make sure you do.“ Some of us won’t be quite as surprised, however, because we’ve actually been watching Justin‘s career unfold for quite a few years, by this point. This may be his first real solo show, but White has showcased his work with G1988 in the past, contributing some standout pieces to previous group exhibits, including one for last year’s Wet Hot American Summer-themed exhibit that was actually purchased by the subject, Paul Rudd, himself. So, while it’s true that Justin White may, in fact, become more of a household name by next week, he hasn’t been completely invisible in the art world and the consistency of the work that he’s crafted up until now hasn’t gone entirely unnoticed. For those of us who first discovered him through his work with Threadless, however, he might be slightly more recognizable under his pseudonym: Jublin. Read the rest of this entry →
