However, it was not the woman he fell in love with, but rather the landscape surrounding this woman. it was following this episode that love became the main motivation for his artistic process. Using the concept of a love letter, the artist developed what he calls the performative haiku: an approach combining love and performance art. He attempts to present poetic images that express the essence of an inner experience: an act of faith in love. In his performances, O\u2019Shaughnessy endeavours to transmit positive energy and convey joy. For him, love is an interior resonance that is experienced in solitude; it is an occasion for self-discovery. he lives and work in Montr\u00e9al.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><a href=\"http:\/\/www.francisoshaughnessy.com\/\">http:\/\/www.francisoshaughnessy.com\/<\/a><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><a href=\"https:\/\/livebiennale.ca\/2015\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/CALQ2c.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1169\" src=\"https:\/\/livebiennale.ca\/2015\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/CALQ2c.jpg\" alt=\"CALQ2c\" width=\"175\" height=\"67\" srcset=\"https:\/\/livebiennale.ca\/2015\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2015\/09\/CALQ2c.jpg 442w, https:\/\/livebiennale.ca\/2015\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2015\/09\/CALQ2c-300x115.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 175px) 100vw, 175px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Francis O&#8217;Shaughnessy (Quebec) See images from LIVE 2015 Watch video from LIVE 2015 Biography O\u2019Shaughnessy fell in love with a woman while on a performance tour.
