"So You Didn't Get Out of Town For Stampede"
Happy Hour
Saturday July 11, 1-4
Christine Klassen Gallery is pleased to present CHROMA, our annual summer exhibition exploring colour as a force for curiosity, connection, and reinvention.
This year’s exhibition brings together new work by Carl White, Steve Speer, Bryce Krynski, and others, alongside Chrissy Nickerson’s new Bridges series and the gallery debut of Philip Kanwischer.
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.
Philip Kanwischer’s photographic work explores the shifting boundary between humans and the natural world, inviting us to reconsider ideas of wilderness, coexistence, and belonging.
With new work by gallery artists and the introduction of Philip Kanwischer to the CKG roster, CHROMA offers a summer exhibition full of colour, curiosity, and unexpected connections.
