ALL ART WORK IS PRICED TO SELL
About Your Artist
Born and raised in Baltimore MD's inner city, the artist simply know as Freedom (Fr33dom) decided to throw is all to the wind and begin his art career in the early 2000's. While living in Edmondson Village
Attending 2 schools: an art school based in Historic Mt. Vernon and South Western High. Freedom was exposed to both sides of city youth living and never quite felt a true balance.
A love for documentation developed at a young age, when he got his first writing tool. Drawing his parents, neighbors, and writing his daily events, little did he know, he was a journalist. It seems he only lives life as chapters- from school, to work, even to his relationships with women. it was all just...chapters.
The street is where this young artist decided to start. Leaving out even on the coldest days on January to sell his art behind the BGE (Baltimore Gas Electric) building, just a few blocks from the city famous Lexington Market, Freedom encountered many people who loved his work. This gave him reassurance to the artist, that what he was doing was well worth it. The faces of the people who saw his work and smiled, laughed, cried, or simply turned up their noses, these people made me who he is to some degree. All was there to see. Landscapes, abstract, portraits, photography. It was like a one man art show on the corner every time he stepped out, The art peddler was often asked to move and or given a citation, but some local business owners didn't mind the long haired painter drawing attention to their shops.
The technique Freedom picked up was simply "tell a story" whether it be his sketches on napkins at a local bar, or be it his serene lush landscapes. The hands of Freedom are never the same from day to day. Adding in his love for photography, everything seems to be an object to be objectified.
