Life Companions Painting

Kyle Killam is a contemporary Canadian artist working in Toronto. Aesthetically, part of his work is fully abstract, and part is mixed with a child-like view of a realistic world, where even the most grotesque appeals with its appearance. In terms of subject matter, the works allow transient guilty and intrusive thoughts a chance to exist for longer than a fleeting moment by committing them to canvas, be it in the form of demonic creatures or mere lines and shapes. These thoughts would usually be ignored by our mind for fear of their depravity, and thus never exist long enough for us to examine in depth, but Kyle's commemoration allows just that.
