Robert Taite

Robert Taite uses an intuitive approach to his work, combining various elements of color, form and pattern together in an innovative manner, making the viewer reconsider their surroundings by breaking the traditional function of painting and architecture.  His unusual use of framing blurs the line between painting and installation, expanding the viewer’s immersion in the work. Taite also focuses on the constructed nature of painting and his framing gives a sense of non-space.


Robert Taite has exhibited throughout Canada, at Art Los Angeles Contemporary in 2017 and twice at Art Toronto in 2014 and 2016. He is the recipient of numerous grants from the Winnipeg, Manitoba, and Canadian Arts Council. Taite was a finalist for the esteemed Annual RBC Canadian Painting Competition in 2015. In 2018, CYDONIA presented Taite’s first solo show in the United States.
