Hello, Salut, Hola, 안녕!
My name is Gavin Canning and I am a 2009 graduate of the Drawing and Painting program at Concordia University in Montreal and a recent returnee to Canada from 2 years in Korea.
Originally from rural Newfoundland, I have spent time in West and East Africa, Central America and Asia, which I think has been enriching to my experience as an artist. My work is heavily influenced by culture, particularly dance, music, and folk art which you will see as I add more things to my shop.
I enjoy working in all mediums, but right now I seem to be focused heavily on gouache and working with Japanese paper (something I picked up in Japan) to make wearable origami jewelry.
When it comes to my art, I am interested in the area between the beautiful and grotesque, and often play on both in my drawings and paintings. Some how even my most beautiful characters are not without defect. Everyone is flawed in some way and I like to explore that.
Convo me with anything that peaks your curiosity! Cheers.
