william (bill) austin
artist
Prairie based Peruvian-Canadian multidisciplinary artist, work taking the form of Visual-Art, Pottery, Design, Assemblage, Music & Theory, born and raised in Southern Alberta and educated at the University of Lethbridge (B.F.A.). Special focus on the Cultures of the Andes, and returns to traditional Academic & Folk Art of Europe.
Manifesting primarily in drawing, painting, AV, and decorative-arts, the work draws heavily upon Pre-Colombian American and Pre-modern European pictures with study of Asian-Art Traditions, namely ink-painting and pottery. Orbiting approaches as found in Historical-Mythological & Surrealist Painting, the legacy of dADa and Metaphysical-Painting; the products are intended to be useful, touched, lived-with and enjoyed, in major part meant to be beautiful celebrations of nature, gratitude for the material, & hopeful visions of the future. With equal stance between the realms of cyberspace, Fine-Art, decor, utility, ceremony, and work-shop, embedding craft and ideas in the everyday.
Rebecca McHugh and Bill are husband and wife, establishing rebbil.ca together in 2024.
