jostin & woblonky
Hailing from England's smallest city, Jostin returned to art in 2017 after a 20 year hiatus, initially working with mixed media to create single line blind drawings and other pieces, with his primary focus being abstract art with acrylics.
​
The 2020 pandemic lead him to refocus on digital art where he developed the Woblonky style; characterised by wibbly wobbly wonky smooth sectionals, Picasoesk misplaced overlaps, ballooned / droplet line and segment terminations, and the occasional continuous line.
​
other styles
Some of Jostin's other pieces include:
- Tom Holland (Spider-man) as a Digital Rorschach
- Liquid Pours using vibrant / metallic paints
- Abstract Paintings where Jostin prefers viewers have the freedom to "see what they need to see"
- Photography & Digital Manipulation
- Pixel Art, including a depiction of himself
- Line & Single Line Blind Drawings
- Pop Art
- Socio-political Art like his "Freak Out & Overreact" subversion of the classic "Keep Calm & Carry On" born of the panic toilet roll buying phase of the 2020 pandemic; a number of Conceptual pieces are also in the works
​
exhibitions
Jostin's first group show in 2018, a charity art event in the city of Wells included a postcard-sized piece depicting a waveform interpretation scored into a hand-made white cotton paper panel.
​
Returning for his second group show, The Cruel & Curious - Nocturne in 2019, Jostin exhibited a second waveform piece, this time on a 2x1 ft canvas using acrylics, varnish and in stark contrast to his first, now in black.
​
Titled "Midnight" this interpretation from Beethoven's 'Moonlight Sonata', depicts a coal-black sky partly obscured by wispy cloud, which can be seen as you move around the piece, as the light catches it from different angles, representing the moonlight breaking through a dark night illuminating the clouds.
​
Layered on top of this night-time scene, each imperfect vertical stave vibrates with its own musical energy.
purchase art
Jostin uses Voice, a Green Platform for the sale of his art as a way of proving provenance; purchasers then have access to full sized digital images, which Jostin grants a non-commercial, non-promotional reproduction license to.
Collectable pixel art pieces are also available through this platform for those wishing to patronise Jostin's work.
