For two decades, Kalmplex has been a guaranteed fixture in Toronto’s art and music communities, supporting both emerging and established creatives while archiving moments that the mainstream media has ignored. Kalmplex’s long-held fascination with people has extended into the art Kalmplex creates. Kalmplex’s canvases are consumed by large faces whose exaggerated features demand the viewer’s complete attention. They’re often portraits of people we all know: Rihanna, Yasiin Bey, Malcolm X. Others portray figures from Kalmplex’s personal life. Kalmplex has participated in various photography and painting exhibitions some which include Contact Photography festival (Toronto Time Capsule 2025), The Rel Carter Culture Tour, The Toronto Outdoor Art Fair, Geary Ave Art Crawl, The 10 x 10 Photography Project which had its last appearance at The Art Gallery of Mississauga and is the first recipient of being an artist in residence at Uma Nota cultures Art vessel projects that was sponsored by the City of Toronto. Kalmplex’s portrait was featured at the Art Gallery of Ontario’s The Culture exhibit which focused on Black Art and Hip Hop in the 21st Century.

Andrew Patterson is a Canadian visual artist, designer, and educator exploring themes of ambiguity and plurality through the lens of multi-racial identity and cultural syncretism. He explores these ideas by using dialogue-informed portraiture, abstraction, and semiotics to challenge binaries. Shape and colour (or its absence), line and pattern, language and data are his tools, dimension and boundaries his targets. Outsider subcultures are the font of Andrew’s influence and inspiration, and global mythologies and schools of the occult offer insights into the threads between people and cultures. Andrew wants to follow those threads to their thresholds and pull on them to see what lies beyond, and maybe draw some new connecting fibres in their place.
