DUGALD FERGUSON is a gay British/ NZ artist working on solo, collaborative and commissioned pieces in both fine arts and performance.
His painting exhibits the strong influence of the South Pacific shown through his treatment of light and colour whilst aspects of design and bold mark-making are often applied springing out of his inspiration from Maori Art.
His visual arts practice currently explores male sexual-social hegemony appropriating extreme ideals of masculinity/ sports figures and obliterating their figures and actions with hyper ‘domestic’ imagery and surreal flowers.
Influences include Derek Jarman, Art Nouveau, Robert Mapplethorpe, Tracey Tawhiao, David Hockney, Naum Gabo, Grecian ceramics, Patrick Heron, David Cerny, Saffron Te Ratana, Rugby players, The Justin Campaign, Van Gogh and Matisse.
He regularly exhibits work around Norfolk and Suffolk.
Dugald is also co-founder of Immersive Theatre Company Living Structures working as Producer, Performer, Devisor and Set Builder.
