Justus Roe is a painter, sculptor and music producer based in Chicago whose large-scale paintings and sculpture work can be found in a number of high profile locations throughout Chicago and surrounding areas. Identified by a freestyle mark making technique based on wildstyle lettering, Roe's pieces often visually echo and thus challenge the viewer's perceptions of the surrounding environment. In this way, they can be interpreted as uniquely local, site specific works of art. Though based in Chicago, Roe's work is not exclusive to his home region of the American Midwest. The Roncevalles Pedestrian Bridge in Toronto, for example, was commissioned by the city in 2017 and is typical of Roe's signature In-Situ, improvised style.
