A length of machine-woven cloth is stained and stretched over a square frame whose axis of vertical and horizontal cross-braces is visible through the fabric’s warp and weft. Echoing their widths, two painted linear geometric figures, obliquely diagonal, incline gently inward from their placements in opposite margins in a nearly symmetrical diagram.
Biographical note
Chris Kline lives and works in Montreal. His paintings echo local traditions of abstraction while reflecting on the medium’s contemporary conditions. Celebrated for their austerity and formal grace, Kline’s works are in collections such as Oakville Galleries, the Agnes Etherington Art Centre, and the Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal, as well as private and corporate collections in Canada, Europe, and the United States.
