Quinn Smallboy is a visual artist born in Moose Factory, Ontario, and a member of Moose Cree First Nation. He completed his MFA at Western University and in 2004 received a diploma in multimedia and production design from Fanshawe College. Currently his artistic practice investigates what it means to be a “contemporary Indigenous artist” – specifically, he questions how customary symbols and icons of Indigenous culture translate into painting, sculpture, and installation. His work resides in several public and private art collections, and his exhibition experience includes public and private art galleries, and museums including McIntosh Gallery, Woodland Cultural Centre, and DNA Art Gallery.
