About the Artist:

Temporarily Not Famous artist Brittany Minnes Praver takes her love for fashion, color and design to create quirky and whimsical acrylic paintings which she applies to new or gently used clothing and accessories.

     Brittany Minnes Praver is the artist behind the brand Temporarily Not Famous.  The subjects of her paintings are otherworldly and odd looking, what she describes as deconstructed beauty, creating faces that look collage-esque, combining different styles and elements like enlarged lips and asymmetrical features. She’s fascinated by the standards of beauty women strives to attain throughout all different periods of history and you will find that there are subtle nods to different cultures and eras within her works.

     Because of her love for out-of-the box type designers like Alexander McQueen and Mason Margiela, she always creates her art with the idea that it could be wearable, and her compositions hold a design element to them. Her abstract ‘custom textile designs’ like her line art faces and geometric patterns, show up over and over again in her paintings. These unique designs symbolize different ideas and have deep meanings behind them.

      Her range of skill is vast and one of her specialties is painting on clothing and leather. She incorporates her custom designs and expressionist figures on her painted clothes and handbags as well, and her unique style makes for very edgy wearable art. Her keen eye and love for fashion has lead her to collaborate with luxury brands as well as stylists and photographers in NYC and LA.
