EVENT DESCRIPTION
MASSIMODECARLO is pleased to present Ferrari Sheppard: Modality, marking the American artist’s debut in Asia. In this presentation, Sheppard navigates the space between abstraction and figuration, moving between the real, the fantastical, and the mythological. This interplay carries both the artist and the viewer through a shifting landscape of modes.
Sheppard’s approach to his craft is refreshingly raw, marked by spontaneity and surrender to the artistic process. As he reflects, “the more I plan, the more things don’t go as expected.” This honesty seeps into his paintings, where free-flowing abstraction often collides with deliberate figurative elements. He approaches his canvases without predetermined outcomes, oscillating between modes as if the works decide their own fate.
In Modality, Sheppard presents figurative folkloric scenarios set in non-spaces. Moments of intention, solitude, love and leisure are captured across mid-to-large canvases. These paintings delve into the human condition, filtered through the subconscious, inviting viewers into a state of contemplation and connection.
