“Dangerous as a whirlwind of razor blades and seductive as candy coated opium, Justice Howard art ain’t for sissies.”
The world renowned photography of visual artist Justice Howard is a journey through all things dark and beautiful. One of the few cutting edge artists unopposed to risk, Justice’s work is a breath of fresh air in an increasingly stale digital age, harkening back to the days of pure, unadulterated photography. Delving far beneath what first meets the eye is this artist’s specialty and it is she who is responsible for thousands of iconic images of memorable personalities, both obscure as well as insanely famous. Waylon Jennings, Dave Navarro, Blue Man Group, Penn & Teller, Dick Dale, Elvira and Mamie Van Doren have been photographed by her. She is possessed of a transcendent gift that enables her to effortlessly affix the essence of her subject’s human frailties, as well as their triumphs, upon the film. Her works are evocative pieces of art that appeal to everyone from the casual observer to the most refined aesthete. Entire venues, like the upscale Lord Balfour Hotel in South Beach, Miami graces her art in 64 of its rooms in 30 feet high wall murals. These locales have been designed from the ground up, in shrine-like reverence for her imagery. With numerous museum shows, 65 art gallery exhibits, 600 magazine covers and 8 hardcover books to her credit, her work is rightfully recognized for its unique flair and dark and edgy nature of raw imagery. She’s the sound of rapping pipes on a Harley Davidson, her shutter snapping powerfully like the whip-crack from a Dominatrix.
