BEAMT!ME is an American artist, who lives and works in Florida, USA.

BEAMT!ME is not really an artist, but rather a concept. Preferring anonymity, BEAMT!ME shows itself through the mind’s eye of the observer. Times like these some suggest are a possible period for reinterpreting art and the role of the artist. BEAMT!ME offers a spark of wonder, freed from thoughts of gender, nationality, age, even appearances. In a small way, BEAMT!ME transfers to what happens in each viewer, gently inviting them to take part, to become the artist. It’s an open concept, not so serious and all can play. Art that becomes so is faceless, disconnected from the system, to be encountered, a gateway to a slumbering place.

Using techniques that blend traditional painting, drawing, and for some works digital backgrounds, the result opens the eye to many meanings, playful, childlike and reverberating.

In 2020, BEAMT!ME began as a means to expand beyond painting and drawing in order to share work with more people, adding a touch of theater and whimsical humor.

About BEAMT!ME

Somewhere out beyond the always, from a Greeting of Wildness

“Jeepster”* like characters show up from time-to-time

JEEP aka “Just Empties Every Pocket” (1)

With a travelled air, a Look and a Line, before there was Carnaby Street

Whimsical disruptor, on a “chair that isn’t there” (2)

Yeets in unpredictable leaps… All-at-Once in a lifetime

Undercover, a Sustained Deviance, carrying the Universe inside

Thinks it’s been kissed by a Moose

Time’s out-of-the-bag when we hang… baked-in uncertainty abounding

Wears pinstripe and different colored cowboy boots

Alleged street nap, reaching for the fishbowl

Picks-up fallen Sunshine, catches Snowflakes with the Tongue

Reverberating Groove, Tuned-in, Tooning-out then turns a “Whiter Shade of Pale” ** and vanishes without a trace

Detachable and reversible from entanglements, round-the-corner of Future to Past

Beamtime (noun): Time allocated to research for use of a Beam of Particles from a particular source (re: Wiktionary)

* from “Jeepster”, songwriter Mark Bolan

** from “Whiter Shade of Pale”, songwriters Gary Brooker / Keith Reid / Matthew Fisher (1967)
