ABOUT THE ARTIST
D . F (LUCIDSDOG)
Lives & works in Ontario, Canada
I am a contemporary artist who specializes in character and narrative illustration, with overarching themes of expressionism and neurographica. Lending verisimilitude has my art appear abstract, surreal and fluid in nature. Cultural Neurographica amongst other themes is such an important aspect of my art and elements of such appear in all of my pieces. Being a neurodivergent person of colour, connecting with the unconscious mind through meditation, nature and art has been vital in understanding myself and growing deeper with my culture. Traditionally however, I work with more emotional conceptual ideas in collage styled canvas and sculptural installations that highlight experiences of my lived life.
