Francis O’Shaughnessy

Francis O’Shaughnessy is an artist who lives and works in Montréal, QC. His practice centres a process he developed called "performative haiku," an artistic approach combining love and performance art. Through his work, O’Shaughnessy attempts to present poetic images that express the essence of an inner experience: an act of faith in love and an ongoing endeavour to transmit positive energy and convey joy. For him, performance art is an occasion for self-discovery. Francis holds a PhD in art studies and practices from the Université du Québec à Montréal, and has exhibited work across Canada and internationally.
