Justin Brennan

Justin Brennan is a contemporary abstract painter and mixed media artist based in Cleveland, Ohio. While he has always been drawn to art, Brennan became serious about his practice in 2005. Largely self-taught, his approach has been shaped by years of exploration, experimentation, and a commitment to learning through trial and error.
Brennan’s work is held in numerous private collections across the U.S. and internationally. His paintings have been featured in CAN Journal, The Cleveland Plain Dealer, Canvas Magazine, Studio Visit Magazine (Volume 50), and New American Paintings (Issue 167). He regularly participates in solo, two-person, juried exhibitions, and art fairs throughout the country.
