Photography and Paintings

By Dean Richert

Shagamu Creations features the photography/artwork of Winnipeg artist Dean Richert. Why the name "Shagamu?" Dean spent part of his childhood in  and near Shagamu, Nigeria, and the rich, intensities portrayed in Yoruba and Igbo art left an indelible impression that now influences Dean's artistic process. When Dean returned to Canada as an adolescent, he adopted a pet Samoyed whom he named Shagamu ; and that Shagamu became a dear friend.  The artwork of Shagamu Creations reflects connections and stark contrasts. Dean's many travels nurture his fascination with medieval imagery, prairie landscapes, and the mystic qualities of trees.  It also contains captivating photography from Manitoba and beyond.  Please browse and enjoy!  Prints available in multiple sizes and formats.
