ART / EXPRESSION / EXPERIENCE

…the process of painting is like a
dialog. It starts with a question, an inspiration coming
from observable reality. |

Biography
Born in 1955, half-Kurd, half-Kazakh,
Shwan showed a strong desire for art at a young age. In 1977 he
proceeded to Italy and earned a diploma from the Fine Arts
Academy of Perugia in 1982. He then immigrated to Canada and
settled in Toronto.
During his study in Italy he was attracted
to several artists, in particular Bori, Tapies, Miro and later
to the American abstract painters of the group Action Painting
and Willem DeKooning.
Audacious, he used unusual materials and
supports such as coffee, wine, nail polish, vinyl tiles,
photographic paper and invented new techniques. He has
essentially developed two approaches in his art, the first more
aesthetic pays particular attention to the composition of the
painting and the second more playful.
Shwan has to his credit 50 solo shows and
collective exhibitions, notably in Italy, Canada and the United
States. Several of his works are part of the Canadian Museum of
Civilizations collection
