Oil on canvas.

Part of a larger series of 8 paintings (2023) inspired by the raw power and emotional depths of the Atlantic Ocean.
Curt Gaudon is a visual artist with a BDes Specialized Honours from York University. He paints with traditional mediums to layer and sculpt a deeply rhythmic surface that vibrates with energy and movement.
Curt’s recent projects explore the visual connections between land and sea, often depicting water or trees, narrowing in on the design fundamentals–line–shape–colour–and bordering on abstraction. These scenes evoke an emotional connection to a primordial world.
ARTIST’S STATEMENT
My foundation in art has been in portraiture and I’ve recently been exploring plein-air painting, to draw out the human experience of nature. I'm looking to tap into the design patterns and rhythms that connect land and sea.
I strive to find a space between representation and abstraction, to paint ideas that surpass the confines of a specific place and to expose the visual sensations of idealised memories surrounding our lived experiences.
I work both plein-air and in-studio, exploring themes in multiple formats and iterations, typically in series. This allows me to experience an idea or location over a longer period of time and push the work past observation, into design and universality.
