About the Artist
Dwight Cushman is a fine artist based in picturesque Red Lodge, Montana. His artistic practice encompasses paintings and works on paper that delve into the thematic domains of mortality, funerary rites, and the commemoration of the deceased, often manifesting a subtle yet palpable sense of the uncanny.
Drawing upon his experiences as an undertaker, Cushman's artistic expression subtly alludes to an otherworldly quality, cultivating unsettling atmospheres that invite introspective contemplation of the liminal space between the tangible and the intangible. His body of work suggests a realm transcending mortality, engendering a quiet suspense that engages with ephemeral, philosophical, religious, and scientific perspectives on existence.
