CRISS CANNING

CRISS CANNING

Smith & Singer are delighted to present our fourth solo-exhibition of paintings by renowned contemporary Australian artist, Criss Canning.

The exhibition comprises fifteen paintings completed since Canning’s last solo exhibition at Smith & Singer in 2022.  Meticulously conceived and inspired by the natural world and built environment, each canvas represents the resolution of complex challenges that remain deeply personal to the artist and reflect her singular vision.  Canning’s still life subjects are widely celebrated by public and private collectors in Australia and around the world.

Born in Melbourne, Canning has lived in various parts of Victoria, New South Wales and Greece, and now calls the region near Ballarat home.  Although an accomplished landscape and portrait painter, it is still life and interior subjects that have become her primary source of inspiration and most revered subjects. 

Canning’s works are held in the permanent collections of the National Gallery of Australia, Canberra; Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney; Art Gallery of Ballarat, Ballarat; Castlemaine Art Museum, Castlemaine; Cairns Art Gallery, Cairns; Artbank, Melbourne; and numerous private collections in Australia, Canada, France, Hong Kong, Singapore, United Kingdom, and the United States of America.

A remarkable Australian contemporary artist who continues to beguile, challenge and inspire, Smith & Singer are honoured to present this exhibition in our Melbourne galleries this May and June.
