Shapeshifter: New and Select Works by Palehorse
Shapeshifter traces the arc of a commercial illustrator who has worked with some of the world’s top brands, bands and cultural icons, and a studio artist and muralist who sees his personal work as a vehicle for sacred connection. In this new collection, Palehorse channels the transformative power of gods, guardians and totems to offer a mirror to the self, weaving together archetypes, sigils, symbols and sacred geometry.
In a retrospective spanning two decades of dedicated practice, Palehorse presents his creative journey through rock poster art, skateboard graphics, wrestling lore and apparel design, reimagined in new ways. He also explores long-imagined collaborations with friends such as Ben Venom, Morning Breath Inc, Masked Republic, Jon Stine and Bryan Nichols, whose influence has been enduring and foundational.
Shapeshifter is a continuum of becoming, a practice of reflection and an expression of gratitude.
