Labrona (Canada)
While he is fast gaining international acclaim for his bold, distinctive canvases, Canadian artist Labrona is notorious for his (literally) moving work on freight trains that roll across the US and Canada.
“I send my thoughts and emotions on to the railways for people to see,” he says. “A train yard is like a forever-changing outdoor art gallery.”
Drawing inspiration from 80s skate culture, rundown industrial areas, and German Expressionism, Labrona’s enthralling visual narratives stem from his fascination with and desire to convey raw human feeling. He has participated in group and solo exhibitions across the US, Canada, and Europe.
