Biography
Justin Brice Guariglia is a New York-based artist whose practice spans painting, printmaking, photography, and public installation, investigating human entanglement with the shifting ecologies that sustain life on Earth. Working in dialogue with scientists, philosophers, and poets, he flew a series of missions with NASA beginning in 2015 to document Greenland's rapidly changing ice - work that became the subject of Earth Works: Mapping the Anthropocene, his solo exhibition at the Norton Museum of Art, the USC Fisher Museum, and the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County. His public installation series -WE ARE THE ASTEROID, and ECO-HAIKUS FOR MARQUEES - place text-based work in civic space.
Other solo exhibitions include REDUCE SPEED NOW! An Earth Day commission takeover of the courtyard of Somerset House, London. His work was included in the 2019 Venice Biennale as an official collateral event, and has been shown at Storm King Art Center, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, Kunsthal KAdE, and the Colby College Museum of Art.
Guariglia is currently a Climate, Earth, and Society Distinguished Fellow at the Columbia Climate School. He has received a National Endowment for the Arts grant and a Howard Foundation Fellowship at Brown University, and was shortlisted for the COAL Art and Environment Prize. He previously served as Senior Fellow and Artist-in-Residence at the Woodwell Climate Research Center, and as Distinguished Fellow and Special Envoy to the Ecological Crisis at the Pratt School of Architecture.
In June 2026, Flowers Gallery presents Agentic Forests, Guariglia's first solo London gallery exhibition, at its Cork Street space.
