Ferrari Sheppard3 collaborationsFor American artist Ferrari Sheppard, painting is “100% spiritual”. The studio is his refuge and when he paints it often feels like “some greater energy is creating the work”. Growing up in Chicago in the 1990s, Ferrari was a self-confessed “art geek”. When it came to college, he gained a place at the prestigious Fine Art Institute of Chicago. However, the overly-conceptual BA programme ended up pushing Ferrari away from painting, and after he graduated in 2004, he started his career as a writer, photographer and music producer. In 2016, Ferrari returned to his “true purpose” in visual art, and began developing his layered, deeply expressive portraits with acrylic, charcoal and 24-karat gold leaf. His audacious signature style garnered much attention in the art world, and almost a decade later he is firmly cemented as a leading figure in contemporary art.

we appreciate the care taken in transport. Our piece was unframed but we appreciated how the packaging was done to protect it and also extras like the information on the art and the tote bag. We love the art work.
