“I greatly admire this talented man”

Snapshot
To Justin Pearson, mythology, opera, music comedy, poetry and theartre rocord the lunacy, the exuberance, the variety and mundanity of life and the human experience.
Justin draws inspiration from the landscapes and stories he lives through and connects with. He is also inspired by the storing-telling of other art forms.
Justin saw his first opera at the age of seven and has been hooked ever since. He controversially accomanied his father to life drawing classes, where it was whispered that pre-pubesant Justin was too young to be sketching nude women.
Justin has recently become the unofficial artist-in-residence to Opera Ausralia. He spent a fortnight studying the Don Giovanni production during the winter season. One of his life drawings from this residency fetched $3.000 at auction. This is a pursuit Justin has revived from his student days where he was well-known in the wings when the English National Opera Theatre was on stage.
Justin Pearson’s life has been drenched in art. His father, expressionist Alan R. Pearson, is one of New Zealand’s most prominent painters. His mother, Coral Pearson Revel,is a sculptur and potter, and his brother, Alan Pearson, a movie set designer and artist.
