ARTIST

Curt Gaudon is a painter recognized for his captivating land and seascapes. He grew up by the Great Lakes and currently lives and works in Toronto, Canada.

Building on his foundation in portraiture, Curt Gaudon has been exploring how plein-air painting can draw out the experience of nature. In 2024 he was Jurors’ Pick for the Toronto Outdoor Art Fair.

His works occupy the space between representation and abstraction, painting ideas that surpass the confines of a specific place and tap into design patterns and rhythms that connect land and sea.

Gaudon works both plein-air and in studio, exploring themes in multiple formats and iterations, typically in series. This allows him to experience an idea or location over a longer period of time and push the work past observation, into design and universality.

Through his art, Reyes explores themes of history, identity, and imperfection, bridging the gap between material beauty and deeper narratives.
