DAVID SHEPHERD

« People just want to be happy. We're all just a spec on a rock in space. »
b. 1987 in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. For years David embarked on a journey participating in juried exhibitions around Ontario with self-taught paintings he had created. His educational breakthrough came when a framer introduced him to the Academy of Realist Art in Toronto, a school with the highest Realism standards using a curriculum based on the 19th Century French Academic system made famous by William Bouguereau.
This foundational training laid the groundwork for his transition into the exacting world of hyperrealism, where they meticulously capture the intricate details of their subjects, often taking weeks to complete a single piece. Looking to create a completely unique style of composition, in 2021 he started a series of paintings that show an eye, surrounded by flowers with a triangular prism light effect being shown. David Shepherd's command of hyperrealism has successfully propelled his work onto the international stage.
