About the Artist:
Born in rural Manitoba, Royden grew up on the family farm. This has a lasting influence on both his outlook and artistic vision. That sense of the prairie landscape informs much of his work.
He studied fine arts at the University of Manitoba (BFA 1969) winning a commission for a large scale sculpture still located on the campus. After a career in public education as an art teacher he returned to art school in 2003 at the Nova Scotia School of Art and
Design.
He now works from his home in Victoria after moving from Ashcroft, BC in 2022
About the work:
My practice in visual art is a process of change and experiment. It involves adding and subtracting formal elements following the dialogue that takes place between me and the work in progress. The final conversation occurs between the work and the viewer.
“It is the spectator that makes the picture”
-Marcel Duchamp
