Justin Morris is a Canadian painter whose acrylic works reinterpret the Canadian landscape through vibrant colour and emotive brushwork. Specializing in both landscapes and abstract compositions, Morris creates visually compelling pieces on birch panel that draw from his deep appreciation for nature and the storied traditions of Canadian painting, particularly the Group of Seven.
His landscapes are atmospheric and dynamic—charged with expressive skies, rich earth tones, and bold strokes of light. In works like the vineyard scenes depicted here, dramatic skies filled with layered clouds swirl above a lush, glowing landscape, evoking a sense of weathered memory and immediacy. His brushwork balances energy and control, with deep contrasts between shadow and light drawing the viewer into the rhythm of the scene.
Morris often paints familiar environments in ways that feel newly discovered, using colour and gestural form to heighten emotion and spark personal reflection. His intuitive compositions bridge realism with abstraction, making his work appealing to collectors who value painterly execution and immersive storytelling through art.
