Born in 1962 in New Brunswick, Duane Gordon travelled widely before settling in Montreal, Canada.  His rootless childhood unleashed his inner explorer, inspired by such beautiful cities as New York, La Paz and Calgary.

 

Gordon’s childhood dream never wavered; he would be an artist.  Life imposed detours; Gordon earned his business degree from the Collège Militaire Royal, veered into high technology, first as a programmer, later a teacher and finally rising to the executive level in high technology consulting.  However, in 2007 he determined he would “take back his life,” pursuing his art career with the same drive and passion that brought success in other fields.

 

Mentoring with Sylvie Moncion and Maurice D’Amour, Gordon developed a painting style that, while reminiscent of Lauren Harris, Charles Sheeler and Georgia O’Keefe, captures the landscape from a new perspective.
