For some artists, the end product is the goal, but for others, the process of creating, pushing the limits of medium and where that journey takes them is more the target.  In his work, Portland artist Justyn Hegreberg explores the reaction of paint against glitter, plastic against canvas.

Given their diminutive size, most being around 5×7 inches, there is a playfulness about these pieces that make them seem like small and lively test samples for a larger project.  Which is a huge part of their charm.  If they were to be enlarged, these pieces would lose some of their frivolity, gaining in return something labored.  It’s that experimental aspect of each piece that is so pleasing– you can almost see him working out the juxtapositions.. so what if I extend the raw canvas here, how about some yellow there?

How about you, Artsies?  Are you a final result type of artist or is the process where your joy  is found?  If you’d like to see more of Justyn Hegreberg‘s work, please check out his website.
