Vincent Dumoulin @streetarteagle
Born in Montreal, Quebec, Vincent Dumoulin began his artistic journey in the graffiti scene. His passion for street art led him to British Columbia, where he expanded his practice to include muralism, automotive painting, contemporary art. Through mastering techniques such as airbrushing, spray painting, brushwork and tattoing, Vincent developed a versatile and refined technical repertoire, enabling him to create an impressive range of murals and artworks.
Vincent’s personal and artistic life is deeply rooted in the Kwakwaka’wakw community of Alert Bay, British Columbia, on the traditional territory of the Namgis First Nation. After marrying into the community, he became the father of two daughters, both following in his artistic footsteps. His profound connection to Indigenous culture has informed his work and enabled significant contributions to potlatches and collaborations with esteemed Kwakwaka’wakw artists, including the late Beau Dick, Bruce Alfred, Wayne Alfred, William Wasden Jr and K’ode Nelson.
Vincent is best known for designing pro-model skateboards for the legendary Cree athlete Joe Buffalo. His "Chief Poundmaker" skateboard, produced by Colonialism Skateboards, has become one of Canada's most iconic skateboard designs. This groundbreaking piece is featured in the "Unity through Skateboarding" section of the Get in the Game exhibit at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA) for 2024–2025, cementing its place in Canadian and international art history.
Vince is the co-founder of Paradise Island Tattoo inc. and outside of creating art he’s busy hunting and fishing, surfing and doing crazy shit with his kids.
