Bruno Canadien holds a Diploma in Fine Arts and Painting Major from Alberta College of Art and is a member of the Deh Gah Got’ı́é Kǫ́ę́ First Nation, a Deh Cho Region member of the Dene Nation.

Using collage, adornment, painting and drawing, he presents evidence of contemporary Indigenous presence and resistance throughout his work.

Bruno’s work can be found in private and public collections, including Alberta Foundation for the Arts, Glenbow Museum, Nickle Galleries and the Indigenous Art Centre. Bruno currently resides in the Moh’kinsstis (Calgary) area, gratefully grounding himself in the landscapes and traditional territories of the Siksikaitsitapi, Tsuut’ina and Îethka Nakoda Wîcastabi nations.
