Brian Rideout (b. 1986) is a Canadian painter whose work examines the evolution of visual culture and the ways in which images are produced, circulated, and assigned value. Through his paintings, he explores the underlying cultural, social, and economic systems that influence the ways in which images and artifacts are both created and how they're received. Rideout has exhibited widely – both nationally and internationally – including in group and solo exhibitions in Seoul, London, New York, Miami, Montreal, and Toronto.
