Originally from Toronto, Ontario, Christopher Kier creates sensual and earthly paintings with encaustic surfaces that imply a sculptural presence. He evokes the mysterious qualities of old ruins, relics, homes and totemic objects. 

“My work presents what I consider to be an architectural or totemic "echo". Topographical environments and reliquaries are created with wax, graphite, oil pastel and paint, nurturing my preoccupations with place, time, and the human imprint onto the natural scape."
