Artists: Lauren Napolitano

About The Artist:

(American)

Traveling mixed media artist creating anything out of everything.

Based out of Oakland and a very prolific member of its resident art scene since 2010, Lauren’s work takes form around the central theme of myth. Both in terms of symbolism and narrative Lauren’s linear work adorns whatever surface it finds itself on, with a sense of mystery and harmony. Her paintings chart the movement of astral bodies whilst also referencing our physical connection with our own Earth.

She is an accomplished muralist (host and curator of Pow-Wow Nepal), a renowned tattoo artist, and a seasoned gallery exhibition artist.

'My work is about celebrating the handmade and the imperfections that come along with it. I am incredibly influenced by my mother’s Mexican heritage and I lean heavily on these ancestors as I create and gather inspiration. I find it important to achieve depth with simple lines and dots, taking something so simple and creating a complex world within. Much of what I create falls between the themes of being surrounded or the movement of energy among every living organism.  As a woman I love to explore bold lines and shapes, creating a symbolic language all my own, while adding a clearly feminine mark. I often find myself inventing delicate pattern work to incorporate a sense of balance and motion…growth…or healing through it all.' - L. Napolitano
