Justus de Rode (1997, Groningen) is a visual artist living and working in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Working with photography, alternative printing processes and mixed media, De Rode explores subjects from natural history, geology and ecology in an allegorical manner. Usually set in nature, a recurring theme is the interplay of reason and feeling in perception.
