Damon Lamar Reed

Damon is a true believer in the POWER of art and its ability to bring about positive change. Rocky, August Rush, and Singing in the Rain; a few of my favorite films. I aim to make art with the depth of films I love so much. As an avid movie watcher, it is important that the work I do tells a story. I equate each piece to an inspirational drama. Optimism, resilience, and forward progress are themes that can be seen throughout my art. I aim to make my work 100% me, while still relating to the community at hand. Without the illustrious dance sequences, Singing in the Rain wouldn’t be the masterpiece it is. The same is true for my art. While the message may be key, there is no art without beauty. I draw the viewer in with bold color schemes and interesting compositions. And even basic images always contain deeper revealed meaning. The issues of everyday life provide more than enough am******on to inspire me. It’s my goal to create something unique and dynamic, something that will evoke emotion.
