Emperor Justinian Stanislaus is a professional artist, creative director and founder of the infamous Red Fork Empire. The Emperor’s recognizable character has led to appearances on Attack of the Show, IFC, HGTV, and interviews in the pages of Fangoria, Coal City Steam, and the Colorado Examiner. A graduate of Ringling art college, the Emperor’s vision has been featured in numerous galleries from his Still Theatre solo series, to international shows such as Bruce Rosenbaum’s Form and Function, and Dr. Grymm's Bizarre.
As Alicia Kozma, from Fangoria writes:
“This is the world of the Emperor of the Red Fork Empire, a graphic artist and sculptor whose artistic philosophy is a mix of re-imagined found objects and omnipotent megalomania. Utilizing raw materials as a starting point, the Emperor uses his vast knowledge of worlds and universes beyond our own to make his sculptures whole—as the Emperor himself describes, his eyes “look beyond what mere mortals can envision. Each piece of his creations are discarded puzzle parts, with their own lost past, that his mind alone can put together.” The results of this otherworldly third-eye are sculptures that embody the kind of psychic distress last seen in a good Tool video, sculptures that find beauty in the misshapen and deformed.”
