Inspired by the evolution of human consciousness and the construction of reality through culture, Zhivago Duncan’s work negotiates the disconnection between physical and metaphysical consciousness. The artist’s practice encompasses a wide range of media, including elaborate large-scale paintings, drawings, raku ceramic sculptures, kinetic dioramas and immersive installations. Duncan’s work creates fantastical worlds and his own distinctive creation myth that draws from imagery found in ancient texts as well as contemporary philosophical and scientific sources.
