Justin Bower is not your stereotypical artist. In this day and age, the adopted beliefs about types of indi- viduals are normally inaccurate, especially when it comes to artists. Bower is a footballer turned artist. (A handsome ex-footballer that drinks scotch, to boot.) When given the choice between college football and art, Bower chose art. Fluctuating between digital and real, his work challenges and engages the viewer. Bower’s exhibit “Panic Room” was featured in Modern Painters as one of the “100 Best Fall Shows 2013.” Make sure to check out more of Justin Bower’s art at justinbower.com and unixgallery.com.
