"Guardian Of Cincity"

Johnny Bench

Widely regarded as the greatest catcher in baseball history, Johnny Bench was the heart of Cincinnati’s Big Red Machine. A two-time National League MVP, 14-time All-Star, and 10-time Gold Glove winner, Bench revolutionized the catcher position with his arm strength, defensive instincts, and power at the plate. He led the Reds to two World Series championships and earned a place in Cooperstown as a first-ballot Hall of Famer.

Justyn’s painting captures Bench in full defensive form, crouched and ready, with the action and grit of old Riverfront Stadium behind him. The vintage backdrop and bold red tones highlight the intensity that made No. 5 the cornerstone of a dynasty — a striking tribute to the ultimate field general and one of baseball’s most iconic players.

The philosophy behind my art has always been to make the most compelling, engaging experience for you, the viewer. I try to envision what it was like to compete against that athlete on the field. I want you to feel that grit and rawness of emotion, the athlete’s competitive fire, and passion.

As a perfectionist, my obsession of getting these details precise, takes razor focus, constant critiquing, and fine tuning. It’s not till the painting is complete to my highest of standard, till I am genuinely satisfied.
