Provenance:
Private Collection, Toronto.
Notes:
Christopher Kier, born in Toronto in 1959, is a graduate of the Ontario College of Art and Design, Toronto. He is widely respected for his encaustic wax and mixed-media works on both canvas and Mylar. Kier handles this technically-challenging medium with such deliberation and grace that his works take on a remarkable depth and permanence. He is now also working with digital and word-based imagery. While his choice of media has changed, these newer works retain Kier’s iconic signature style and maintain the powerful ethereal sensibility of his encaustic pieces. Kier was a founding member of both the artist group “Bandit” and LOOP, an artist-run gallery in Toronto. He has exhibited in numerous solo and group exhibitions throughout North America and Europe. His work is included in both corporate and private collections in North America, Europe and Japan, including those of Air Canada, Westin, and Nordstrom.
