DOUGLAS CASON

Douglas Cason’s art explores the power of storytelling and the complexity of perception. Through photo-realistic oil paintings, he examines how narratives shape history, identity, and our view of nature. As Zepeda, he critiques self-exploitation in the social media age, revealing the tension between authenticity and performance. As Rev Wayne, he investigates anthropomorphism and human-centered views of the animal world. Cason’s work challenges viewers to question accepted truths and reflect on their place in the world. Driven by a desire to provoke thought and spark dialogue, he uses art to illuminate hidden meanings and inspire personal and cultural reflection.
