About the Item
An original enamel on metal painting by emerging contemporary conceptual artist Craig Sheperd (b. 1984)
Craig Sheperd’s paintings, most of which are enamel on metal, were created over a period of 2 1/2 years where the concept of change through exposure to the elements played a large part in their creation. After they were painted, Sheperd thoughtfully placed the works in abandoned urban environments around Buffalo—forgotten industrial and other peripheral sites, where they were left to be exposed to the weather as well as potential human and animal intervention. The result is a patina of rust, fading and other naturally induced marks adding another layer to Sheperd’s traditionally painted images. Sheperd conducted this aesthetic experiment with 30 paintings. Included with the purchase of the paintings themselves, are photographs of the work while hung in its exterior environments, surreal compositions of artwork in a completely foreign environment—the exact opposite of the traditional white cube.

Oil painting. The implied narrative adds to the piece. A glimpse into a child's world, one we all have experienced. Tone is engaging, fun with universal appeal.
