Canadian artist Kyle Sorensen is best known for his rich portrayal of contemporary landscapes through the lens of geometric abstraction. Resonating with the Cubists, as well as the language of hard edge painting, Sorensen’s fractured acrylic landscapes are a fresh approach to often traditional genre.

Sorensen, on process: “I always begin my process with a place. A place that I am drawn to for whatever reason; sometimes it might be my interest in how the waves crash against shoreline, or perhaps the way the sun sparkles on the blue water. I’ll snap a photo with my camera and revisit these images later in my studio where my mind will begin to reduce the image into various geometric shapes and colours. It is by reducing the image to various intersecting planes that you are left with an abstract image of where you once were, or how you felt when you witnessed it.”

Sorensen's work is held in private, public, and corporate collections across North American, South America, Europe, and Asia. He currently lives and works out of Parry Sound.
