Paintings by MADSTEEZ
MADSTEEZ (a.k.a. Mark Paul Deren) is an acclaimed artist and designer based in California.
His gritty, colorful visual style has attracted a slew of corporate clients such as Nike, Red Bull, Honda, Stüssy, and more. As an artist, he has held solo exhibitions in New York, Los Angeles, and Tokyo, as well as participated in group exhibitions in the U.S., Canada and abroad.
I love how soulful, raw, and yet playful and fun his work is, particularly his paintings. Check out some choice pieces below (I’ve got to get my hands on a Carlton Banks print!) and then view more at his website.
