Brittany DeMeo
“I’ve always been a dreamer, and my art is where those dreams begin to take shape. I channel my pain and personal history into something alchemised, letting every emotion - from soaring joy to the darkest lows - find its place on the canvas. Through my work I hope to transport others and show that any dream, no matter how impossible it feels, can be shaped into your reality.”
- Brittany DeMeo
Brittany DeMeo, working under the pseudonym Spiritual Bitch, makes dynamic paintings that are instantly recognisable for their idiosyncratic visual language and layered imagery. Characterised by an instinctive and intuitive approach, DeMeo’s work contains within it a sense of fluidity and unmistakable energy. Patterns, symbols and forms are combined and juxtaposed, suggesting unexpected and enigmatic narratives. Referencing neo-expressionism and pop art, DeMeo’s practice is defined by vibrant colour, gestural mark-making, subjective experience, and deep emotion.
Fairy Portal
For example, E-Tea came to DeMeo in a dream and encapsulates the artist’s signature use of glitter and her technique of pouring and throwing paint directly onto the canvas. Dreamscapes like Matrix, Fairy Portal and Portal Hopping are otherworldly and surrealist, suggesting transformation and transfiguration. The artist playfully incorporates recognisable motifs in her paintings, such as dollar bills, cartoon characters and musicians, creating her own pop iconography of contemporary culture.
E-Tea
DeMeo’s practice is experimental and explorative, reflecting her own life as a contemporary artist. Infused with motion and energy, each piece channels the artist’s experience and emotion, resulting in vivid, dynamic and singular paintings. There is something unexpected and uniquely contemporary about DeMeo’s work.
The artist explains, “As a nomadic artist, I am born from motion and change. My work reflects resilience and adaptability, transforming experiences into visual stories of spirit and strength. Rooted in spirituality and guided by transformation, I create as an act of liberation. I am Spiritual Bitch Art - raw, fearless, and evolving with every step of the journey.”
