CHROMA

Christine Klassen Gallery is pleased to present CHROMA, their annual summer exhibition exploring colour as a force for curiosity, connection, and reinvention.

This year’s exhibition brings together new work by Carl White (Dip '92, VCD), Steve Speer (former student and Sessional Instructor), Bryce Krynski and others, alongside Chrissy Nickerson’s new Bridges series and the gallery debut of Philip Kanwischer (BDes '15, Photography).

Rather than offering colour as simple brightness, CHROMA considers it as a way of reimagining the familiar. Across portraiture, photography, landscape, architecture, and abstraction, the artists in this exhibition transform what we think we know into something more open, layered, and alive.

Chrissy Nickerson’s Bridges turn Canmore, Banff, and Calgary’s bridge structures into vivid studies of passage, connection, and time.

Carl White’s new portraits blend historical elegance with bold contemporary interventions, collapsing past and present into something theatrical, strange, and electric.
