Jon Shaw
I was born and raised in St. Catharines, Ontario and received my BFA from Mount Allison University in Sackville, New Brunswick in 2008. In 2010 I relocated to Vancouver, BC to establish my studio practice while exploring a new creative landscape.
While there, I documented the rapidly evolving alleyways and industrial spaces of the Downtown Eastside. A wealth of crumbling brick, wiry cables and overwhelming clutter, these environments fuelled a generous series of urban landscape paintings. I exhibited regularly with Kimoto Gallery and was an annual participant in the long-running Eastside Culture Crawl, my favourite annual event in the city.
In 2018 I returned to my hometown of St. Catharines, where I continue to develop new work and exhibitions based on urban metamorphosis in-and-around the Niagara Region including St. Catharines, Toronto, Hamilton and Montreal. I have exhibited multiple times at Niagara Artists Centre and more recently, with Artist Project in Toronto.
