DERRICK HODGSON / MDRL (Canada) Lecture
creatures of mass mania
Derrick Hodgson describes his style as a fusion of imagery absorbed
while growing up on the family farm and living now in an urban
setting.
His paintings and drawings are depictions of monochrome “mass
mania”, complex social spaces crowded with familiar and
mutated characters.
Aesthetically combining aspects of cartoon, graffiti and contemporary
design to produce his own illustrative style, he uses repetition
of his characters to illustrate ideas of technological advancement
and its consequences.
