Meet the Artist: Jonathan “Motown” Motyl

Inspiration:

Justice . . .is it "justice" or is it "just is?" I wanted to compose a piece with energy that makes one's mind question what I might have thought while I worked on this piece. The question evolves into the enlightenment as the answer to what it really means to the individual who's analyzing it.

Justice statement:

J*U*S*T*I*C*E. For the last few weeks when this opportunity for this exhibit were presented, I've found myself trying to understand the definition of the word, but the definition I've been finding and understanding is far deeper than just words. It's feelings, perceptions, opinions; there's a grit I feel with it. It's something packed with a flavor, multiple tastes, colors, sizes and energies. I myself first think of a penal justice but justice is so much more. It's a fairness, and equality, and I believe there must be a moral balance. I wouldn't say there should be maybe differences in justice, but with justice it adapts in so many spectrums and bottom line is righteous equality no matter what diverse understanding surrounds.
