Justin Matherly

Justin Matherly is a New York-based sculptor known for his monumental works that combine cast concrete with repurposed medical walkers and crutches, creating imposing yet precarious forms that reference classical and ancient sculpture. His practice draws heavily on philosophy, particularly the writings of Lucretius and pre-Socratic thinkers, using the body, fragility, and material decay as central themes. Matherly has exhibited widely at institutions and galleries internationally, and his work engages with ideas of entropy, mortality, and the weight of history.
