Remi Goguen has an Acadian heritage and was born in Moncton, New Brunswick in 1982. As a child and adolescent, he was athletic, remarkably observant and patient in nature. He favoured Visual Arts throughout his schooling and most of his childhood was devoted to drawing and playing sports. His first sign of artistic distinction was with graphite in the mid 1990’s thanks to a number of pencil drawn reproductions of a series of paintings by KC Rasmussen. He found the paintings of his sports idols in the 1994 Toronto Blue Jays World Series Championship commemoration calendar. Over the next few years his technique progressed to exceptionally detailed graphite portraits. Two years after graduation, he returned to college to complete a two year graphic design program. At completion, he worked a temporary internship with a design firm and worked as a junior graphic designer for another brief period before he would make the decision to travel overseas which would mark his artistic transition into photography. His ten month New Zealand adventure equipped him with his first camera and led to a nomadic lifestyle of travel and photography for eight years through British Columbia, Thailand and Australia before he moved to Revelstoke BC in 2012 and still resides.

His inspiration for creating images and his printmaking process progress in unison as he continues to develop his craft. He has been a member of Revelstoke British Columbia’s “Art First Fine Art Gallery” from 2017 to 2024, and is currently a member of both the “Revelstoke Visual Arts Center” and Revelstoke’s “The Local Coop”. Remi is an artist and an artisan, bringing his vision as well as fellow artists’ creations to archival quality prints, as a fine art photographer and printer.
