Right now our main focus is our clothing line, but moving forward we feel the possibilities are endless and look forward to the road ahead. The best way to describe what we are all about would be to say that the Lifetime Collective is a “Work In Progress” meaning it is never finished and ever changing, giving it the ability to adapt to new environments.

Artist Biographies

 

Lifetime Collective

Giving way to what we do with our lives, something we contemplate daily. In our case it's something we use as a tool to create. Create something to put on peoples backs, and not made off the backs of others. The ability to create art, build friendships, spur awareness and finding new ways to keep independent from the uniform standard. We are a collective of friends, artists, musicians, skateboarders, snowboarders and free thinkers. Living our own lives, creating our own future.

It's members, Tyler Lepore, Jaret Penner, Simon Redekop, and Michael Swaney, formed in Vancouver after graduating from the same college art program. Their similar aesthetic treatment and approach to painting brought them together and eventually led them to work in conjunction on the same pieces and large scale installations.

Ryan Wallace

Based on personal, exterior, desired and fictitious experience I create worlds of variously interpretable, often romanticist narratives. The pictures act autonomously and as a whole suggesting each piece as a segment or selection lifted from a larger landscape or longer timeline. The imagery and symbols reflect an interest in the dualities, fleetingness and half-lives of the beautiful and awesome. The symbols are enacted to create brochure like pictures of the adventuresome and romantic, subverted by an inherent apprehension at the improbability of the universe that they exist in.
