Known primarily as a painter and writer, John Kissick’s exhibition record includes over 40 solo exhibitions in Canada, the USA and Germany.
His work has been featured in two national touring solo exhibitions: “A Nervous Decade” (2010) and “The Boom Bits” (2015) and included in a number of survey exhibitions on contemporary painting such as the recent “Entangled” exhibition at the Vancouver Art Gallery.
As a critic and essayist, he has written numerous catalogue essays and articles for periodicals. As a curator, he was the recipient of a 2014 Ontario Association of Art Galleries (OAAG) Award for Curatorial Writing. Two recent essays: “Elephants in the Room” for Canadian Art Magazine and “Disco and the Death Switch: Tales from Contemporary Abstraction” for Border Crossings were nominated for National Magazine Awards.
