While the world was busy panic-buying toilet paper, Shards was busy making art. What began as a creative outlet during lockdown quickly became an obsession.

Working primarily with found imagery, Shards draws from public domain books, vintage magazines, archival materials and classical artworks. Through collage and digital manipulation, he takes familiar imagery out of context, bringing together different eras, scales and narratives to create something entirely new.

Shards was a Season 2 artist with Avaissance and has exhibited at Beeple Studios.
