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.

Cut paper collage
33 x 37" (framed)

Artist Statement
Bull Moose at the Blue Horizon is an original cut paper collage depicting the moose head the sits atop the entrance to the Blue Horizon Boxing Venue on the 1300 block of North Broad Street.

Originally constructed in 1865 as private homes, the building was altered in the early 20th century as a lodge for the Loyal Order of Moose. By the 1960's, it was renamed the Blue Horizon and became a renowned Boxing Arena until its closing in 2010. Since that time the building has been vacant with development surrounding the historic property.
