Ferrari Sheppard: Heroines of Innocence

Wilding Cran Gallery is pleased to present Heroines of Innocence, a solo exhibition of new paintings by Los Angeles based artist, Ferrari Sheppard. 

“Ferrari Sheppard’s, Heroines of Innocence, as a collection of paintings functions like a constellation. Each individual painting a star, a carrier of many stories, each with its own complex and unique qualities, but all a reflection and function of each other and this kind of drive toward survival. Sheppard enters the night and the sleep and dreams of the captured and their descendants and isolates moments where the heart opened or healed, or saw itself reflected in those that surrounded them. Rendered in charcoal, acrylic and 24 karat gold, the edifying and terrifying experiences of a people are explored and set in a place that exists beyond the act of emancipation--and rests in the individual and collective self-freeing possibility of liberation.”
