Justice David Gutierrez is a designer and artist working in sculpture and installation. He completed his BA in Design from St. Edward’s University in Austin, TX.

While working as a designer for different studios, he independently practiced filmmaking. His work has screened at the Adobe Design Achievement Awards, Austin Arthouse Festival and Austin Music Video Festival. Since 2016, he has led workshops and teaching residencies primarily in experimental filmmaking.

In 2019, he was selected as a lead artist tasked with creating a large-scale installation art experience at ahha Tulsa. He designed and constructed Woo (2020) an immersive environment, structured as an abstract narrative in physical space. The exhibit will run through 2022 in Tulsa, OK.

In 2020, he was selected to contribute to Straight Through the Wall’s projection series. STTW screened Neptune’s Cathedral (2020) a stop-motion animated music video and Woo companion piece, on buildings in Alphabet City and Downtown Brooklyn.

Most recently he was selected by San Pedro Creek Culture Park to create a temporary outdoor installation for their annual light-based art event, Illume: Making Spirits Bright. For the event, he created Babbling (2021) a quarter-mile long light installation that ran throughout the creek during the month of December. The light sculptures synchronized with music to lay dormant and silent during the daylight, coming to life and changing colors at night.

Today, he pursues his artistic passion by using public sculpture-based installations to affect human experiences.
