We’re excited to introduce you to the work of Stan Squirewell, who blends history, identity, and tradition in the series of mixed-media portraits. His images breathe new life into forgotten faces, combining vintage photographs with vibrant textiles and intricate details to create powerful visual narratives.
Squirewell’s latest series, ‘Robitussin, Hotcombs & Grease,’ explores everyday objects that carry deep cultural significance. By incorporating historical images, fabrics, and digital techniques, he transforms anonymous figures into compelling pieces that honor ancestral traditions and the legacies they leave behind.

Wow, l have never seen collage done in this way before. So expressive. Ppatches and rags portrayed in a celebratory and exuberant. Like saying, yes we pieced our lives together from the scraps available and that is what has made them so beautiful, so rich.
Unfortunately all the frames are cut off, which the artist does himself and they’re freaking gorgeous and part of the artwork.
