David Thauberger in Memoriam

OSAC joins Saskatchewan’s arts community in mourning the passing of renowned Saskatchewan artist David Thauberger, who died in Regina in August 2026.

Thauberger became one of the province’s most recognizable and influential artists. Across more than five decades, his paintings, prints and ceramics developed a distinctive visual language rooted in the Prairie landscape, architecture and everyday life. His work transformed familiar Saskatchewan places and images into scenes that were at once playful, carefully observed and unmistakably his own.

For OSAC, David’s legacy is also part of the history of bringing Saskatchewan art to communities throughout the province. His work was featured in Seeing is Believing, a 2004-2006 OSAC provincial touring exhibition that brought together the work of Thauberger, Mina Forsyth, and Wynona Mulcaster. The exhibition invited audiences to look closely at how three very different artists use elements of design to construct an image.

OSAC is grateful to have played a small part in sharing David Thauberger’s work with Saskatchewan communities. His contribution to the province’s visual arts landscape is lasting, and his distinctive vision of Saskatchewan will continue to resonate through the artworks he leaves behind and the many artists and audiences he inspired.

We extend our deepest condolences to David’s family, friends, colleagues and the many members of Saskatchewan’s arts community who knew and admired him.
