About the Item

Demarcus McGaughey (b.1975) a Texas native and New York-based mixed media artist, passionately captures the beauty, strength, and vibrancy of people of color. Inspired by Barkley Hendricks, who famously painted Black people in all their coolness, McGaughey portrays his people in a larger-than-life display. Drawing inspiration from pop art and real-world experiences, McGaughey’s work exudes an undeniable flow. McGaughey specializes in a mixed media style that combines acrylic painting, paper collage, photography, and inherited fabrics from his grandmother’s quilt collection.This elixir of artistic elements allows him to express the spectrum of moods among his subjects. In the early days of his career, he found graphics to be the ideal catalyst to tell stories for other people. But it was through painting that he discovered an avenue to tell stories, his way. His vibrant portraits capture elements of his world travels, his family, and his community. Each painting, a statement to the world, declaring, “I see you and I hear you.” Behind his art, resides a lifelong fascination with human psychology. McGaughey has always been intrigued by the mind, especially the stories people tell themselves. As a result, in his art he assumes a narrator role—telling heroic stories of his subject’s self-actualization and self-determination. As a certified life coach, he passionately empowers his coaching community that life is what you create it to be. His portraiture work reveals triumphant tales of African American subjects who have manifested their destiny with a particular focus on the eyes, the window to the soul. Throughout his 20-year art career, McGaughey has worked with prestigious brands and organizations, including Beyoncé Knowles Carter and beverage giant Dr. Pepper. His work has been highlighted in numerous magazines, museums and galleries stateside in New York, Texas, and globally in Spain. He has completed art residencies with Mas el sigols in Barcelona, Nfinit Foundation Arts Residency in Brooklyn, Art Crawl Harlem in New York, Chateau Orquevaux in France, Ma’s House in South Hamptons, NY and Willohouse in Terlingua, TX. Through his captivating lens, Demarcus McGaughey hopes to continue to inform inspiring stories of Black triumph.
