People tend to zoom out when making art,<br />

creating imaginaries that take up great space,<br />

so as to explain the world around them. The<br />

opposite is true for the work of Justin Penov,<br />

originary from Ohio, who zooms in all the way<br />

to the guts of relationship dynamics, familiar<br />

memories and the quiet discomfort of time,<br />

exactly in that place within us that resembles<br />

the homes we no longer inhabit. These minute<br />

pieces in size are loud and stand strong as a<br />

social commentary and as time binding art.<br />

When moving one’s eyes through the details,<br />

the hours pass and we are transported to stories<br />

hidden deeply inside.<br />
