| 关于此艺术家 |
Dugald Ferguson is a gay New Zealand/British artist working on solo, collaborative and commissioned pieces in both fine arts and performance. His painting exhibits the strong influence of the South Pacific shown through his treatment of light and colour whilst aspects of design are often applied springing out of his inspiration from Maori Art.
This fusion of British heritage and Kiwi upbringing drives the aim of his painting to communicate atmosphere and an identity of person, place and object. Other stimuli include Art Nouveau and the work of artists Naum Gabo, Patrick Heron, David Cerny and Saffron Te Ratana.
Dugald’s approach to drawing and painting aims to create a tension between the illusion of a picture and the technique through which it is produced. The illusion is formed using vibrant colouring and dramatic composition whilst experimentation with a variety of styles informs the technique that incorporates deconstruction of shape, use of patterning and bold mark-making. This fusion invests in his painting a strong sense of energy and movement.
Dugald is also a co-founder of the Live Art/ Performance Collective ‘Living Structures’ that create large scale immersive environments of activated installation. www.livingstructures.co.uk

Dugald is a gay New Zealand/British artist working on solo, collaborative and commissioned pieces in both fine arts and performance. His painting exhibits the strong influence of the South Pacific shown through his treatment of light and colour.
Home/Boy includes an eclectic selection of his work curated to portray a skewed utopian ideal of domesticity. The intense colour and composition are constantly undermined by the crude use of object, homo-eroticism in appropriated sports imagery and a sense of frenetic action in small confined spaces using paint, collage, model making and a dose of sexual repression. From vibrant still lives of flowers built with the compromised bodies of sportsmen to a murky lily pond’s writhing mass of inhabitants just registering on the surface, all the pieces are invested with a strong sense of movement and energy.
Dugald’s approach to painting experiments with deconstruction of shape, use of patterning and bold mark-making in order to create a tension between the illusion of a picture and the technique through which it is produced. With influences including Grecian sexual imagery, David Hockney, rugby, Robert Maplethorpe and the Wizard of Oz - Home/ Boy is a Gay exhibition exploding style, home-life and bunches of flowers.
HOME / BOY is on exhibition at the T-Lounge, Ber Street and is part of the 2009 Norwich Pride programme of events. Don't miss it!
