Los Angeles-based artist George Medici creates contemporary works that are not bound by traditional styles. His principal medium is acrylic on canvas, but he also uses mixed media such as metals and plastics in his works.

Medici looks beyond traditional mediums to present social issues in various art forms. Pictured left is Elisabeth of North Hollywood, Calif. She’s “between” homes and part of a series of “organic portraits” that depicts homelessness in Los Angeles while revealing the humanity behind each unique individual.
