iCanvas is excited to offer prints by DEM\u00d6, whose distinctive portfolio of art evoking darkness, fashion, melancholy, and confidence all at once creates a style that\u2019s darkly intriguing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The figures in DEM\u00d6\u2019s work are remarkably bold, with shadowy eyes, spindly limbs, sharp profiles, and exaggerated features that nod to both lowbrow art and traditional fashion illustration. Inspired by the art of drag, the figures are often depicted in poses reminiscent of vogueing, with thematic elements drawing influence from astrology, folklore, and the supernatural.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Known officially as Demontier Meireles, DEM\u00d6 is based in S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil, and credits a connection to queer culture as a source of unconscious expression. Recent features by brands like Beautiful Bizarre speak to the artist\u2019s growing esteem in the art world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
