John Kissick : “So that’s why my paintings are like that. I’ve been trying to punk my disco and disco my punk”
In the Canadian art scene, Ontario’s John Kissick is known for both splashy, super-intense paintings and a quite sharp critical writing practice. (His screeds on art education–informed in part by his position as director of the School of Fine Art and Music at the University of Guelph–are a particular favourite.)
