Hydeon: Adrift in The Corners Of Time : Gallery One • In-Person and Online

Ricco/Maresca is pleased to present Hydeon’s first solo gallery exhibition in New York. The gallery has represented the artist since early 2023. That year, he was included in a two-person booth at the Independent Art Fair (May 11 - 14), followed by a one-person presentation at NADA NY in 2024 (May 2 -5).

Hydeon (b. 1985) is the professional name of the artist Ian Ferguson. He was born in National City, CA. and grew up in San Diego. Hydeon began showing his work in the early 2000s at art venues across the West Coast. In the years that followed, he moved extensively around the country, eventually settling in 2014 in a tiny apartment in Brooklyn, New York (which we have named “The Capsule”), where he currently lives and works. He has shown widely in the U.S. and has had solo shows in Paris, Berlin, Brescia, and Monte Carlo. 

Hydeon’s current practice seamlessly integrates influences spanning ancient civilizations to contemporary and speculative futures, crafting narrative-driven works pulsating with action. Populated by characters and creatures that are both recognizable and mysterious, Hydeon’s work draws inspiration from medieval, baroque, and Victorian art, as well as art brut, age-old myths, video games, and science fiction.
