DOUGLAS CASON

Douglas Cason’s art reflects his fascination with storytelling and the complexities of perception. He examines how narratives shape history, identity, and our view of the natural world. Under the persona of Zepeda, his photo-realistic oil paintings explore self-exploitation in the social media age, revealing the tension between authenticity and performance. As Rev Wayne, he addresses anthropomorphism and the human-centered perspectives that color our relationship with animals. Cason’s work challenges accepted narratives, illuminating hidden truths and inspiring dialogue. His paintings invite viewers to examine their own stories, question what they see, and reconsider their place within the larger world.
