About The Red Artist
Welcome to my world of bold, electrifying art – a celebration of individuality, emotion, and colour.
I’m Lammy also known as The Red Artist. My journey began during a life class in 2018 when I grew tired of conventional white sheets. I dared to bring in a stack of brightly colored paper, much to the shock of everyone present – including the life model. But for me, this wasn’t just a rebellious act; it was the start of something extraordinary.
When I reached for that vibrant red sheet, it was as if a spark ignited. Suddenly, I felt a surge of energy, like charged electricity coursing through my hands and into my work. From that moment on, red became my canvas, my muse, my signature.
Red isn’t just a color; it’s a force. It represents love, anger, passion, and danger – the rawest, most human emotions. It’s the boldest color in the spectrum, demanding attention and creating instant connection. Yes, drawing on red can confuse the eyes, but that challenge excites me. It’s where I find my creative power.
I complement this vibrant backdrop with premium materials like Sennelier and Caran d’Ache pastels, known for their intense pigmentation. They don’t just sit on the page – they leap off it, bringing my work to life. If these materials were good enough for Degas, they’re more than good enough for me.
My art isn’t about fitting into the traditional mold. Each piece I create – whether a portrait, a nude, or an abstract design – is infused with raw emotion, boldness, and character. I draw from life whenever possible, and when I work from photos, I strive to capture not just the likeness but the essence of my subject.
I believe that art should be accessible, which is why my pricing is intentionally affordable. I want more people to experience the joy and energy that bold art can bring to their lives and spaces.
So, if you’re here looking for a standard, white-portrait experience, you won’t find it. My art is for those who dare to embrace the unexpected and celebrate the extraordinary.
I invite you to explore my portfolio, find a piece that speaks to you, or commission something custom. Whether you’re looking for a statement piece for your home, a meaningful portrait of a loved one, or a bold addition to your design project, I’m here to bring your vision to life.
Let’s create something amazing together.
