Fred Stonehouse Bust

Deeply symbolic and laden with meaning, Fred Stonehouse’s paintings depict archetypes and then skewer them and in so doing, undermine the dominant narratives that don’t serve us well. By bringing them out of the shadows and laying them bare in the light of day, we are forced to look. These highly personal dream forces, be they demons or imps or angels or gurus, are deep parts of our psyches and can be powerful guides in our lives. Many of the these characters feel very personal but others feel like frightening statements about where we are as a society. There is a universal in the personal and by cataloging and naming that which we fear, we as collective humanity can move forward with greater awareness.
