April Pyne

Moncton, NB

April Pyne is a visual artist living in Moncton, New Brunswick. Her abstract geometric paintings are informed by a childhood spent in Brooklyn, New York. Pyne has studied the language of abstraction looking to past modern masters. She has created a language of her own by painting images from her childhood; geometric shapes like buildings against an expanse of sky, unexpected moments of natural beauty, texture reminiscent of earth, stones and pavement, fragments like stained glass from her grandfather’s church. Her style embraces modernism, geometric forms and sculptural elements. She is fascinated with circles (a shape without beginning or end) and with finding the shapes in the painting as a sculptor finds the shapes in wood or clay. Pyne has had a full time studio practice for nearly a decade. She makes her home in Moncton, NB with her husband. Her work has been seen in “The Globe and Mail”, and “The Times and Telegraph”.
