Description
Dominic Shepherd draws on the occult and English folk traditions. His complex paintings consist of interwoven surfaces of pattern and figuration that tie his own first-hand experience of living in Dorset woodland with an ongoing interest in historic and contemporary cultures and cult groups. 70’s Prog Rockers; Romantic poets; visionary artists; hippies; Pearly Kings and Queens; acid house ravers; and Wiccans populate Shepherd’s canvases, often bedecked with signs and symbols, to celebrate and mourn the loss of cultish communities and movements.
