Byrun Boutin-Maloney is a multi-disciplinary artist, musician, and writer. His visual art is known for vibrant colors, surreal compositions, and black outlines that organize his images, calling to mind the stained glass windows of cathedrals. His work feels dreamlike and is often dense, brimming with symbolism and story.

Byrun’s art is strikingly original. The eye enters a deeply personal visual landscape, a world unto itself with its own laws and language. Drawing from automatic creation and outsider traditions, his work is created intuitively; he allows his art to unfold naturally. As a result, a sense of serenity emanates from his work.

Working from his studio in Estevan, Saskatchewan, Byrun continues to push the boundaries of his craft, exploring the edges of the subconscious and the interplay between personal healing and collective experience. Recently, he has been digesting the influence of Jean-Michel Basquiat, and as a result, he is allowing his colors to bleed into one and other. From 2022–2025, his primary medium was oil pastel. He occasionally works with acrylic-based drawing instruments, as seen in The Gift and Child of the Universe.

Byrun has been invited to showcase his art at the Artesian in Regina, as well as at the Leisure Centre in Estevan on multiple occasions. Since 2025, he has been facilitating art therapy sessions at the St. Joseph's Addictions Treatment Center in Estevan.

In 2026, Byrun participated in Confluence, a francophone artistic residency funded by the CCF at PAVED Arts Studio in Saskatoon. There, he received guidance from established artists Jean-Sébastien Gauthier and Michel Gignac, who introduced him to the world of linocut prints. His surreal style lends itself well to the medium, and he is especially fond of the live surfaces that printing by hand produces.
