For over two decades, Kalmplex has been a guaranteed fixture in Toronto’s art and music communities, supporting both emerging and established creatives while archiving moments overlooked by mainstream media. Kalmplex’s long-held fascination with people informs the art created: canvases dominated by large faces with exaggerated features that demand viewer attention. Subjects range from cultural icons like Rihanna, Yasiin Bey, and Malcolm X, to figures from Kalmplex’s personal life.
