Rene Gagnon Fine Art

As a kid I dreamt of being a gallery artist. The question was what I would be creating to get there. I knew I had to develop something original, but for so long I wondered how 'my' ideas and emotions could translate into something someone could appreciate visually that was in keeping with who I was. So, like many graffiti artists that grew up in the eighties, I am trying to bridge the gap between graffiti and stereotypical 'gallery art'. At first glance my work may seem to be an attempt at traditional expressionism but with further inspection the layers of the paintings reveal a saturation of tagging hand styles, and pure bombing.
