Laine Groeneweg is a Hamilton-based artist, collaborator and educator. He has worked with some of the most recognized names in Canadian contemporary art, as well as developed a reputation for his energetic and audacious printmaking practice.
Following his Bachelor of Fine Arts studies at York University with a focus on new media and video studies, Laine returned to the traditional studio art environment in 2009 and trained at Fondazione Il Bisonte Per Lo Studio Dell’Arte Grafica in Florence, Italy with a focus on traditional printmaking.
Laine’s practice embraces the possibilities of traditional technique in the wake of more contemporary methods. He approaches the printmaking medium as a means of production, inspiration, and preservation. His prints are as stylistically and conceptually diverse as the medium itself. Laine’s work has been exhibited Nationally and Internationally across North America, Europe, and Asia and are held in a number of public and private collections.
