Laurie Aldridge, Louise... Read more -

JULYA HAJNOCZKY
Aurora Arborealis February 3 - March 2, 2024 Imagine a not-so-distant future, where human civilization has crumbled; the last surviving fragments of earth’s ecosystems float in the void.

CHRIS KUZMANOVICH
thank you October 19 - November 18, 2023 CKG is pleased to announce an upcoming exhibition for Calgary-based designer/artist Chris Kuzmanovich, very simply and concisely titled ‘thank you’. This body of work celebrates the expansive creative path Chris has been on the last few years. ‘thank you’ is a series that is self-reflective; exploring a more vulnerable side of his creative practice, but also illustrates the unfolding of a new visual library of constructed compositions, light and his intuitive use of colour.

MARCIA HARRIS
Echo September 14 - October 14, 2023 Known for her familiar depictions of houses and buildings in and around Calgary, Harris’ architectural paintings emerge out of her own form of hyper-pigmented realism.

JOANN GODENIR
Let Go Lightly September 14 - October 14, 2023 CKG is thrilled to be kicking off our fall line-up with Calgary’s JoAnn Godenir’s second solo exhibition at the gallery - “Let Go Lightly.”
Drawing from her experiences at a residency in France earlier this year, JoAnn’s new body of work has pushed her to stretch and grow in her creative practice, take more risks and fully appreciate the care that goes into making art - hence her choice of title.
With an expanded palette of carefully layered tone-on-tone this new series endeavours to give you the feeling of a warm worn blanket, allowing us to sink into each piece gradually while taking in each layer both individiaully and as a grand whole. As a master of colour JoAnn’s colours are both fresh and nostalgic, soft yet at times graphic - a balance that is surely not as effortless as it appears. Read more
