Joey Monsoon: Painting

The latest work from one of DAF’s favourites Joey Monsoon. Based in Columbus, Ohio, Monsoon fell in love with drawing heroes and characters as a child and has never stopped. Monsoon’s work is influenced by the work of Egon Schiele, Barry McGee, and Doze Green, among others.

“My figures and portraits hover somewhere between reality and myth. Their worldly weariness is revealed through a dream-like lens. They are not so much portraits of people as they are portraits of emotional triumphs and failures. We don’t always know their stories, yet in our gut we know how they feel.” (from Lindsay Gallery)

Lita Cabellut: Mixed Media

The latest work from Spanish painter Lita Cabellut. Cabellut grew up a gypsy in Barcelona. At the age of 13, she was inspired by the old Spanish and Dutch Court master painters after a visit at the Prado Museum, and decided to become an artist. Cabellut had her first exhibition at the age of 17 at the Town Hall of Masnou, Barcelona. At 19 she moved to the Netherlands, where she studied between 1982-1984 at the Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam.

“Cabellut is a painter with a unique pictorial language, using a contemporary variation on the fresco-technique and a immensely enjoyable, communicative and recognizable ‘Cabellut-palette’.” Her work has been exhibited around the globe including New York, Dubai, Miami, Singapore, Hong Kong, Barcelona, London, Paris, Venice, Monaco, and Seoul, Korea.
