"Back when I had an office job, l'd sneak in art and work on it any chance I got. It was my escape during a super stagnant time. A few months ago I started drawing every morning again and it hit me like a truck. It felt like I was back under that fucking desk.
Creatively, the last year or so has been strange- and not the good kind. The kind that boxed myself in and left me feeling restricted. I don't how I got there, but I know I'm not going back." - Sage Barnes
Sage Barnes (American, b. 1994) is a self-described "painter and sometimes other things." Raised in Missouri, Sage studied at the FIDM (Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising) in Los Angeles for a time before leaving to pursue a career as an artist.
Sage Barnes' work is characterised by his urban street-art inspired portraits, where the figure's head is usually missing and replaced with a burst of color. Common motifs within his work include smiley faces, balloons, flowers, splattered paint, or colourful pixels. Sage works primarily with acrylic and spray paint on canvas and experiments with different mixed media elements such as artificial flowers, stucco and foam.
