"The immediate urban environment provides me with the starting point for most of my paintings and prints. The shifting dynamics of the street is a collage of images and encounters that are both edgy and full of primal vitality. I
improvise freely on observed realities, and am interested in exposing the layers that can be found within the commonplace, emphasizing the mythic within the mundane." - Richard Tetrault

Biography |
Richard Tetrault is a painter, printmaker and muralist living in Vancouver, Canada. His work explores universal themes of the figure and the urban landscape. Richard's paintings, prints and murals fuse together allegorical figures with urban landscapes, creating a timeless space that invites the viewer to look through windows into both the past and the future. From 'Painted Lives and Shifting Landscapes' - Pam Fairfield
While Tetrault's studio work reflects the dynamics of the city, his murals are an attempt to directly influence the physical texture of the street. He is known for initiating large-scale community projects and collaborations, working in a broad range of materials and concepts. These works have brought the artist recognition as both a teacher and as an innovative public artist. In the past severeal years, Tetrault has participated with the Canada-based art group, La Raza, on mural initiatives in Canada, Argentina and Mexico.
A recent book on Tetrault, Painted Lives and Shifting Landscapes (Anvil Press, 2004), profiles several decades of his work.
