Justin Shoulder / by Claudia Phares

I discovered the artist Justin Shoulder who was featured on the cover of the July edition of the Australian Art Collector. The image on the front cover caught my eye, but it’s the photo of the red creature that made it for me. I love how Shoulder combines the environment to stage his colourful portraits. There is something very tactile about his costumes. I’m not surprised when he describes his practice as “a theater of the senses”. His work is a combination of performance, installation, and photography. An Australian emerging artist worth keeping an eye on!
