In partnership with GMC, ‘Build it Today’ highlights unique Black creators who are inspired by their community and look to make an impact in it with their work.
Brandon Sadler, known by many of his followers as Rising Red Lotus (@risingredlotus) is a mixed media artist who creates murals, paintings, exhibition art, illustrations, production design and more. Inspired by cartoons, comics, skateboarding, history and his surroundings, much of his work reflects the influence of both American graffiti and Asian art forms.
His work caught the attention of Hannah Beachler, who hired him to paint the walls in Shuri’s lab as part of her Academy Award winning set design for ‘Black Panther.’ In addition to his work for commercial clients, Sadler is also busy experimenting with a comic book and three-dimensional forms, including pieces used in daily tea practice, such as tables, boxes, altars, and meditation benches.
