The Perdido/Shaman Series

The Perdido/Shaman Series by Frank Hyder is a captivating body of work that delves into themes of transformation, spirituality, and cultural synthesis. The series draws on the archetype of the shaman, a figure revered across various cultures for their role as a healer, mediator, and guide between the physical and spiritual realms. Hyder’s artistic exploration centers on the intersection of ancient traditions and contemporary concerns, using vibrant colors, abstract forms, and layered symbolism to evoke a sense of mystery and transcendence.

In this series, Hyder incorporates diverse cultural motifs and imagery, often blending natural elements such as flora, fauna, and mythic symbols with striking human forms. The works evoke a sense of ritual and ceremony, capturing moments of introspection, connection, and transformation. By juxtaposing ancient wisdom with modern aesthetic sensibilities, the Perdido/Shaman Series invites viewers to reflect on the timeless human pursuit of healing and enlightenment. Hyder’s use of mixed media, including painting, sculpture, and installation, creates an immersive experience that speaks to the power of art to bridge the gap between worlds and foster deeper understanding and renewal.
