About LX Artworks

LX Artworks: A Fusion of Art, History, and Legacy Lindsay Ekstrom, the self-taught Dallas-based artist behind LX Artworks, creates original portraits that transcend traditional art boundaries. Her distinctive style, which she calls "Portrait Pop," blends the elegance of classical portraiture with the vibrant energy of pop art. Ekstrom reimagines historical "Rebels, Founders, and Icons" by bringing them into the modern era, portraying them with contemporary fashion, tattoos, and accessories that reveal the untold stories behind their public personas. “I don’t just put historical figures in modern clothes for a laugh,” Ekstrom says. “Every detail in their fashion and body language is a symbol that tells their life story.” Before starting a new piece, Ekstrom delves deep into research, ensuring her work remains historically accurate while presenting her subjects in fresh and relevant ways. Through this process, she crafts portraits that challenge perceptions, allowing viewers to connect with iconic figures on a personal level. Headquartered at LX Artworks Gallery in McKinney, Texas, LX Artworks serves as both a gallery and storefront, showcasing Ekstrom’s work and expanding her reach to a global audience. This family-owned business takes pride in producing high-quality, American-made art and merchandise. LX Artworks operates out of the historic McKinney Cotton Mill, where they handle every detail of production, including museum quality printing. Read their story
