Artist Statement

My work merges painting and collage to explore themes of intensity, transformation, and popular culture. I'm drawn to the contrast and constant motion that defines contemporary life, nothing stays still for long. Through my practice, I aim to capture that energy and remind viewers that life is fluid, layered, and ever-changing.

Artist Bio
Jeremy "Lupien" LaMountain is a self-taught artist based in Philadelphia, PA. Born in 1997 in New Haven, CT, he discovered his passion for art early in life, inspired by both of his grandmothers who pushed him to explore the arts through multiple mediums. His work primarily incorporates acrylic paint, collage, and mixed media, exploring themes of contrast and popular culture, particularly through the lens of cartoons, advertisements, and urban life.

Lupien's artistic development has been shaped by his experiences living in Baltimore, New York City, and Philadelphia-cities that have influenced the rhythm, energy, and intensity of his work. His time creating art alongside college students and graffiti artists in Baltimore encouraged him to embrace both traditional and nontraditional materials and techniques.

His work has been exhibited in four group shows and one duo show in Baltimore and New York, and he has completed large-scale public murals, including a commissioned original piece painted directly onto a living room wall in a New York City loft.
