The Artist

---

A glimpse into the distinguished life and artistic practice of renowned  Italian-Canadian painter Albert Chiarandini, OSA, FIAL (1915-2007).  Chiarandini’s artistic practice was as diverse and variant as life  itself, his works showcase an assortment of subjects, including vivid  Canadian Landscapes, portraits of Yorkville Hippies, and  thought-provoking political scenes. Although he painted a variety of  contexts and concepts his inherent curiosity for the human condition  gives a soulful and honest articulation of his subjects.

From the private collection of Luciano Pavarotti to the museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Udine, Italy.  Found in the historic halls of the Universities of Toronto and Ottawa, to the many Art Galleries within Ontario, Canada. View a list of Albert Chiarandini's permanent collections.

Passion Meets Paintbrush, Beyond the Pose, The Hippies of Yorkville and Painting the Way were some of a few of Albert Chiarandini's recent Exhibitions. Click here for a view of past, present and future exhibits.
