We're so pleased to introduce our newest Featured Artist ...Kira Lee!
Kira Lee is a typographic pointillist. Now if you're not familiar with this technique, it's for good reason - having developed her unique take on pointillism over many years, Kira coined the term to describe the way she uses words, quotes, and lyrics to create portraits of iconic figures.
Borrowing heavily from pop culture, musicians are one of Kira's favorite subjects ( song lyrics lending themselves beautifully to her technique ) but she also has fun with her art and it's not uncommon to see a portrait of David Bowie or even the Dalai Lama gracing the same wall as SpongeBob Squarepants.
Whether cartoon character or musician, Kira's love of art in all forms is always the driving inspiration behind her work.
In Kira's words: "I love the idea of creating something with another connected thing. Using theories to outline horn rimmed glasses. Song lyrics twisted and turned into locks of hair. Heart-aching poems carved into crows feet. Culture defining philosophies stitched into a silk robe. Gathering these beautiful writings and celebrating them collectively with something as dynamic as the Artists portrait."
