Richard Austin is a Canadian painter, independent filmmaker, photographer, and former art editor whose multidisciplinary artistic practice is rooted in decades of visual storytelling.

"My practice of creating contemporary, abstracted art based on the Canadian landscape involves vivid colours, flattened perspectives, and assertive contour lines, evoking spaces that feel both familiar and dreamlike, rather than depicting a specific geographic reality. I’m drawn to expansive vistas and ambiguous forms — scenes that stimulate intuition."
