BIOGRAPHY

Chris Gardiner’s two-dimensional work blends Geometric Abstraction, Neo-Dada, and Art Informel. His art ranges from spontaneous, gestural drawing and ironic, disruptive collage to meticulously structured painting. Gardiner's pieces challenge assumptions about art and engage viewers in unexpected ways, akin to a fusion of Free Jazz and Professional Wrestling.

 

Gardiner has exhibited his work in The Museum of Canadian Contemporary Art/Auto Building Toronto, MassArt Art Museum (MAAM) Boston, Anna Leonowens Gallery in Halifax Nova Scotia, Art Gallery of Brant, Art Gallery of Peel, and The Art Gallery of Guelph. His work has been collected by patrons in Boston Massachusetts, Rome Italy, Turin Italy, Los Angeles California, Toronto Canada, and Guelph Canada.
