DOUGLAS CASON
ABOUT
Douglas Cason's art is a reflection of his fascination with the power of storytelling and the complexities of perception. Through his work, he explores how narratives shape our understanding of history, how we portray ourselves in the public sphere, and how we perceive the natural world.
Under the persona of Zepeda, Cason investigates the paradox of self-exploitation in the age of social media. These photo-realistic oil paintings expose the curated versions of ourselves we often present to the world, questioning the boundaries between authenticity and performance.
As Rev Wayne, Cason delves into the realm of anthropomorphism and the anthropocentric viewpoints that literally color our relationship with the animal kingdom.
Cason's work is driven by a desire to provoke thought and spark dialogue. He believes art has the power to illuminate hidden truths, question accepted narratives, and inspire change.
His work inspires viewers to reflect on their own stories, perceptions, and place in the world.
