WELCOME!

A true encyclopedia, Dominic Besner’s site retraces his artistic career, recalls his influences and tries to share the pleasure he takes in painting with the viewer. With a little diligence, you will discover Besner’s evolution from year to year, whether it is in regards to his universe or his brushstroke. A "Members" section (under construction) will give you the scoop on upcoming events and a blog which will also be coming soon will connect you directly to the artist. Furthermore, fans of his work who own one or more of his pieces can sign up for the site in order to enrich his online catalog.

In keeping with this topic, it should be mentioned that very few artists have the chance to have all of their works listed in one or more published catalogs. And even fewer artists have the advantage of having their own online catalog raisonné. One of the sections of the site that you are about to visit, the Corpus section, is and will, over time, become the virtual catalog raisonné of Dominic Besner. The main advantage of this virtual catalog is that it will provide constant updates of information pertaining to the artist and his work. Day after day, collectors will have the chance to visit and discover his most recent accomplishments and to suggest the inclusion or correction of certain pieces of information they consider inaccurate or missing.

All works by Besner are listed both in image and text form in this catalog and go back from the very first pieces to those who were created in the present time. This virtual book is the only comprehensive reference tool on the work of Dominic Besner. It is divided into six sections. The first, Presentation, is a biography which allows you to discover Besner’s personality as it is today. The purpose of this site is informative, it features a complete detailed curiculum-vitae as well as his biography. The Events section lists and illustrates each of the events and exhibitions that the artist has and will be participating in. Browse through articles, photographs, artworks and videos that will allow you to enjoy his talent as if you had the chance to see his work with your own eyes. As described above, the Corpus section represents the virtual catalog raisonne Besner, while the Members section, which will be launched shortly, will not only allow members to customize said virtual catalog raisonne, but also to be updated on events related to Besner, to exchange with the artist, to make one of your Besner pieces available for resale, etc.. Finally the NEWS section plays the role of a newspaper and will regularly bring you updates on the artist. You can also send us your comments or questions at any time through our Contact Us tab.
