Tyson Bodnarchuk

Tyson Bodnarchuk has been drawing and doodling for as long as he can remember. This hobby soon grew into a full time interest, as Tyson began creating large-scale pieces with his signature style, influenced by 50s/60s sci-fi films, EC comics, rock and roll, Jim Henson and interesting people on the metro. Originally working in mainly acrylics and high gloss resin on canvas or any other surface, the artist has recently adopted watercolors, inks and coffee to his work, giving his creatures a new depth. And to add more things to his to-do list, he also contributes to several local (The YPF Collective & En Masse Crew) and international (Birdwatchers Of North America) art collectives.An original native of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Tyson has moved his home base to Montreal, Quebec, and is feeding off the busy artistic lifestyle that the city seems to breed. On top of exhibiting frequently all over North America, he has recently opened “Headquarters” a new art gallery & boutique which showcases new independent artists, writers & publishers, designers and musicians from across the globe. His future plans include many more exhibitions, experimenting with new materials, collaborating with other artists & clothing companies, publishing a collection of his web-based comics and touring Canada and the US with a traveling exhibition.
