Biography: Aaron Beirnes grew up in Regina before returning to his hometown of Winnipeg when he was 16. After getting interested in art while in high school he has continued to produce work that reflects his interests in subjects that speak to him in some way. Sometimes it’s the way the shadows react on a human face, sometimes it’s as simple as a news story that catches his attention. Such as the tragic death of the gorilla Harambe’s death. Aaron felt compelled to honor this gentle giant the way he knows best... in black and white. Aaron draws mostly for himself, once in a while as a gift for a friend and always in black and white which he believes captures a subject at their most impactful.
