Richard Tetrault

I am a Vancouver-based painter and print-maker whose work explores the intersection of art, community, and collective voices. Since establishing my East Vancouver studio in 1976, I have created murals, prints, and public artworks that reflect the layered narratives of place and identity. My paintings and prints search out the mythic that is found within the commonplace, and are often sourced from my immediate surroundings.

Collaboration has also been central to my practice—I’ve coordinated more than twenty community-based projects, including Big Print Projects, Through the Eye of the Raven and Community Walls/Community Voices. As co-founder of the Creative Cultural Collaborations Society, I continue to promote initiatives that unite artists and communities through shared creative processes.
