Kyle Sorensen is a Canadian artist whose work explores landscape and the human figure through the language of geometric abstraction. Working primarily in acrylic, he distills both place and presence into fractured planes of color and form, drawing from the visual traditions of Cubism and hard-edge painting while maintaining a contemporary sensibility.Inspired by the terrain of Northern Ontario and the waters of Georgian Bay, Sorensen often begins with a specific location - observed, photographed, and later reduced in the studio. Landscapes are translated into simplified geometric structures, where three-dimensional environments flatten into rhythmic compositions defined by bold color and sharp transitions.Alongside landscape, Sorensen applies this same reductive approach to figurative subjects. Human forms are broken down into angular planes and tonal shifts, emphasizing posture, weight, and relationship rather than detail. These works sit comfortably alongside his landscapes, treating the body as another structure within space—subject to light, geometry, and balance.Across both bodies of work, Sorensen is interested in reduction: how complexity can be clarified through simplification, and how memory and emotion remain present even as forms are pared back. His paintings retain a sense of familiarity while resisting literal description.Sorensen’s work has been exhibited widely across North America since his first solo exhibition in 2013. He was nominated for the BMO 1st Art Award in 2013.Represented by Illumine Gallery. Please inquire for commissions and shipping options.
