"Black Marilyn" Painting

Experience the tension between a beautiful face, and a complicated soul.

Pop Art Painter Boo Deity paints the layers of an exhausted graffiti wall on canvas. She uses her hallmark neon colors in contrast with chalky pastels. Drippy oil paint reflects the dripping facade of what we thought we knew about popular icons. Layers of witty sayings and street tags allure you into a joke where the punchline sits on a bench at a quiet museum, waiting for you to laugh out loud. Her style begs a compassion from you; people are not what they appear to be on the outside.

Boo Deity inspires those who feel outcasted. Her personal devotion to painting is a dedication to rewriting her family’s history of mental illness. She is inspired by trips to the Art Museum, music, and dance.

Her technique is perfectly messy, she uses acrylic paint, oil paint, fabric, and digital techniques.

Boo Deity is an established Pop-Art Painter since 2016.
