Dominic Besner is renowned for his vibrant, textured paintings of masked figures, animals, and cityscapes, where overlapping lines, patterns, and planes converge. Full of colour and emotion, Besner's new collection of hand-embellished archival pigment prints symbolizes the fragility of humanity and the ephemeral nature of life, themes that touch him deeply.In Besner’s work, animals become more than just subjects; they are symbols of power and transformation. Once used in combat or entertainment, horses and bulls in his pieces evoke both nostalgia and commentary on how these creatures have shifted roles over time. Animals are set in a world represented by the performance and decoration while taking on a more playful image of creatures from the circus.
