Description
Brian Kipping's work bears a superficial resemblance to photo-realsim but it is profoundly different. He paints mostly cityscapes, but the architecturally scaled scenes give off a sense of still life painting.This exhibition focuses on various aspects of Kipping's oeuvre: his little-known conceptual work is of particular interest as it has informed much of his later painting. Most striking in Kipping's work is a sense of continuity, a perception that what he does best is observe a close radius of the world that directly surrounds him. Kipping's environs, including the ever-present light sources in his paintings, becomes the character within his work.Essay by Steve Armstrong.

He was a founding editor of both Coach House Press (in 1965) and Coach House Books (in 1997) and has laboured as a film programmer, director of an artist run centre, and co-director and programmer for a musical performance centre, all in Toronto.
