ABOUT THE ARTIST
Born in 1967 in Sudbury, Ontario in 1967 Shawn Robichaud is an emerging artist, who has only made his work publicly in 2019 and has already received international recognition as well as winning several awards with the Federation of Canadian Artists and the International Artist magazine.
Robichaud was recognized for having a natural gift at a very early age, he was already taking art classes with adults at the young age of 14 and went on getting a college degree in graphic design. Unfortunately his passion came to a complete halt after college. It wasn’t until 27 years later in October 2017, now having settled in his work career, he decided to pick up a brush and pursuit getting back into painting.
As a self-taught artist, his approach is contemporary. With each canvas serving as a page in the chronicle of a man rediscovering his Canadian roots, his passion, and his art. Through his art his goal is to capture the mood, emotions and memories far beyond words. He strive to call attention to what is already there, but often overlooked.
